1
00:00:35,035 --> 00:00:36,286
<i>On Monday morning,</i>

2
00:00:36,370 --> 00:00:38,872
<i>a patient named Guernsey,
male, middle 70s,</i>

3
00:00:38,956 --> 00:00:41,875
<i>was admitted to the hospital
complaining of chest pains.</i>

4
00:00:42,668 --> 00:00:44,670
<i>He had been referred
by a nursing home</i>

5
00:00:44,836 --> 00:00:48,799
<i>where the doctor had diagnosed
his condition as Angina pectoris.</i>

6
00:00:50,008 --> 00:00:51,802
<i>Now, it is axiomatic</i>

7
00:00:51,885 --> 00:00:54,721
<i>that nursing-home doctors
are always wrong.</i>

8
00:00:55,639 --> 00:00:58,016
<i>The intern who admitted
Mr. Guernsey,</i>

9
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:01,103
<i>however, accepted the diagnosis
and prescribed morphine,</i>

10
00:01:01,186 --> 00:01:03,021
<i>a drug suitable for angina,</i>

11
00:01:03,105 --> 00:01:05,274
<i>but not at all suitable
for emphysema,</i>

12
00:01:05,357 --> 00:01:08,694
<i>which is unfortunately
what the old man actually had.</i>

13
00:01:08,819 --> 00:01:11,905
<i>Within an hour, the patient became
unresponsive and diaphoretic,</i>

14
00:01:12,030 --> 00:01:13,824
<i>and was raced up
to Intensive Care,</i>

15
00:01:13,907 --> 00:01:15,659
<i>with an irregular pulse of 150,</i>

16
00:01:15,742 --> 00:01:19,329
<i>blood pressure 90 over 60,
respiration rapid and shallow.</i>

17
00:01:20,038 --> 00:01:22,040
<i>The resident on
duty in Intensive Care</i>

18
00:01:22,165 --> 00:01:24,334
<i>now compounded the blunder
by treating the old man</i>

19
00:01:24,418 --> 00:01:25,877
<i>for pulmonary edema.</i>

20
00:01:25,961 --> 00:01:28,839
<i>He gave him digitalis,
diuretics and oxygen.</i>

21
00:01:29,673 --> 00:01:31,341
<i>This restored
the old man's color,</i>

22
00:01:31,425 --> 00:01:33,844
<i>and he was sent to his room
in the Holly Pavilion,</i>

23
00:01:33,927 --> 00:01:36,555
<i>ruddy-complected
and peacefully asleep.</i>

24
00:01:45,022 --> 00:01:46,690
<i>In point of fact,
the patient was in</i>

25
00:01:46,773 --> 00:01:49,651
<i>C.O.2 narcosis and died
at 7:30 that evening.</i>

26
00:01:49,985 --> 00:01:51,903
<i>I mention all
this only to explain</i>

27
00:01:51,987 --> 00:01:54,740
<i>how the bed in Room
806 became available.</i>

28
00:01:57,534 --> 00:01:59,161
<i>The intern involved</i>

29
00:01:59,244 --> 00:02:01,496
<i>was a prickly young buck
named Schaefer,</i>

30
00:02:01,580 --> 00:02:03,332
<i>who had a good thing
going for him</i>

31
00:02:03,415 --> 00:02:06,126
<i>with a technician in
the Hematology Lab.</i>

32
00:02:06,293 --> 00:02:09,087
<i>In the haphazard fashion
of hospital romances,</i>

33
00:02:09,171 --> 00:02:11,465
<i>Dr. Schaefer had been
zapping this girl</i>

34
00:02:11,548 --> 00:02:14,551
<i>on wheelchairs, stretchers,
pantry shelves,</i>

35
00:02:14,968 --> 00:02:16,637
<i>in the kitchen, in the morgue,</i>

36
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,472
<i>in the dark corners
of corridors,</i>

37
00:02:18,555 --> 00:02:20,557
<i>standing up, sitting down...</i>

38
00:02:21,183 --> 00:02:22,309
<i>So you can imagine</i>

39
00:02:22,392 --> 00:02:25,187
<i>what an available bed
meant to him.</i>

40
00:02:26,521 --> 00:02:29,316
Hey, Sheila,
this is Howard, Sheila.

41
00:02:29,524 --> 00:02:31,443
Hey, listen, I got a bed
for us, for tonight.

42
00:02:31,568 --> 00:02:33,612
A real, honest-to-God bed.

43
00:04:01,491 --> 00:04:02,993
Dr. Schaefer.

44
00:04:18,258 --> 00:04:19,718
Dr. Schaefer.

45
00:04:47,621 --> 00:04:49,998
Listen, did you know that Dr. Schaefer
was in Room 806

46
00:04:50,165 --> 00:04:51,208
because he's dead?

47
00:04:51,333 --> 00:04:52,334
What?

48
00:04:52,417 --> 00:04:55,420
I'm just telling you that
Dr. Schaefer is dead.

49
00:04:59,716 --> 00:05:01,051
What do you want, Perez?

50
00:05:01,134 --> 00:05:02,803
I don't know what the hell
this is about,

51
00:05:02,886 --> 00:05:04,387
but Dr. Schaefer
is in Room 806

52
00:05:04,471 --> 00:05:06,014
with an I.V. running,
and he's dead.

53
00:05:06,097 --> 00:05:07,849
I didn't even know he was sick.

54
00:05:07,933 --> 00:05:10,268
Perez, what the hell
are you talking about?

55
00:05:10,352 --> 00:05:11,978
Do you know what
she's talking about?

56
00:05:12,062 --> 00:05:13,104
No.

57
00:05:13,188 --> 00:05:15,315
Maybe I'm going crazy.
I don't know.

58
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,734
Isn't Room 806
the patient Guernsey?

59
00:05:17,901 --> 00:05:20,320
Did something happen that
maybe I didn't know about?

60
00:05:20,445 --> 00:05:22,781
Perez, I don't know what
you're talking about.

61
00:05:22,864 --> 00:05:24,741
This is the nuttiest thing
I ever saw.

62
00:05:24,825 --> 00:05:26,660
Dr. Schaefer is
in Room 806, dead.

63
00:05:26,743 --> 00:05:28,787
What Dr. Schaefer?
Our Dr. Schaefer?

64
00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:29,871
Our Dr. Schaefer.

65
00:05:29,955 --> 00:05:31,957
The one who's always
grabbing everybody's ass.

66
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,542
Do you know what
she's talking about?

67
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:34,626
No.

68
00:05:34,709 --> 00:05:36,628
I don't know what
you're talking about.

69
00:05:36,711 --> 00:05:39,089
What do you mean,
"Dr. Schaefer's in Room 806, dead"?

70
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:41,132
I mean that he's lying
on the far bed,

71
00:05:41,216 --> 00:05:42,968
stone dead
and with an I.V.

72
00:05:43,051 --> 00:05:44,177
If you don't believe me,

73
00:05:44,261 --> 00:05:47,722
maybe you ought to just get up
and go look for yourself.

74
00:06:01,987 --> 00:06:04,614
All right,
maybe you'd better call Mrs. Christie.

75
00:06:37,606 --> 00:06:38,857
Dr. Bock.

76
00:06:41,359 --> 00:06:43,320
Yes, Mrs. Christie,
what is it?

77
00:06:46,239 --> 00:06:47,532
No, no, it's all right.

78
00:06:47,616 --> 00:06:49,951
I'd have to be getting up
any minute, anyway.

79
00:06:52,954 --> 00:06:54,164
Miss, uh,

80
00:06:54,289 --> 00:06:56,291
sorry, I missed that, uh.

81
00:06:56,374 --> 00:06:58,668
Would you say it again, please?

82
00:07:00,837 --> 00:07:02,213
Yes, I know.

83
00:07:03,340 --> 00:07:04,674
Yes, uh...

84
00:07:05,884 --> 00:07:08,803
Uh, Schaefer,
the stud with the glasses,

85
00:07:08,887 --> 00:07:10,221
fancies all the nurses.

86
00:07:14,517 --> 00:07:16,061
I'm afraid I don't understand.

87
00:07:16,144 --> 00:07:17,854
What do you...
what do you mean?

88
00:07:22,233 --> 00:07:23,652
Was he sick?

89
00:07:26,780 --> 00:07:28,114
I mean, was...

90
00:07:32,369 --> 00:07:35,997
Uh, w-what... what was
the cause of death?

91
00:07:39,376 --> 00:07:41,753
Uh, well, was he being treated?

92
00:07:42,003 --> 00:07:44,089
I mean,
I don't understand, uh...

93
00:07:45,340 --> 00:07:46,341
Uh...

94
00:07:47,258 --> 00:07:48,551
What was he doing in the bed?

95
00:07:48,635 --> 00:07:50,512
I mean, you did say...

96
00:07:54,015 --> 00:07:56,351
Uh, well,
Mrs. Christie, uh,

97
00:07:57,060 --> 00:07:59,020
did you call the office?

98
00:08:00,522 --> 00:08:02,232
Good, I'll... I'll...

99
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:05,860
No, no, no, no, it's all right.
I, uh...

100
00:08:07,195 --> 00:08:10,407
I'd be getting my wake-up call
any minute, anyway.

101
00:08:14,077 --> 00:08:15,245
{\an8}People!

102
00:08:21,793 --> 00:08:23,086
{\an8}Hey, man, there he goes.

103
00:08:23,169 --> 00:08:24,170
Let's go and get him!

104
00:08:24,254 --> 00:08:25,255
Yeah!

105
00:08:27,674 --> 00:08:28,675
Hey!

106
00:08:44,858 --> 00:08:46,317
We're the hope.

107
00:08:46,401 --> 00:08:47,902
What do you say, Sundstrom?

108
00:08:47,986 --> 00:08:50,280
Just how much longer do you
think your monopolistic,

109
00:08:50,363 --> 00:08:52,699
exclusionary,
racist policies will work?

110
00:08:56,244 --> 00:08:57,787
We're the hope!

111
00:08:58,496 --> 00:08:59,956
Now, hold it.

112
00:09:01,958 --> 00:09:02,959
Herb!

113
00:09:03,877 --> 00:09:05,503
I'm glad I caught up with you.

114
00:09:06,337 --> 00:09:07,881
How's it going?

115
00:09:08,089 --> 00:09:10,050
One of my interns
dropped dead this morning.

116
00:09:10,133 --> 00:09:12,010
Oh, really?
I'm sorry to hear that.

117
00:09:12,510 --> 00:09:14,596
I understand
you moved out to a hotel.

118
00:09:14,721 --> 00:09:15,722
Yes.

119
00:09:16,056 --> 00:09:18,016
Things got that
bad with Phyllis?

120
00:09:18,433 --> 00:09:20,226
It's been that bad for 24 years.

121
00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:21,811
You gonna be solicitous?

122
00:09:21,978 --> 00:09:22,979
Yeah.

123
00:09:23,063 --> 00:09:24,064
Ooh, God.

124
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:25,398
Herb, listen, I'm the guy

125
00:09:25,482 --> 00:09:27,025
that brought you
into this hospital

126
00:09:27,108 --> 00:09:29,778
so I think I can skip
the diplomatic overtures.

127
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:31,738
Marty stopped me
in the hall yesterday,

128
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:32,822
very upset.

129
00:09:32,906 --> 00:09:34,146
He had just had lunch with you,

130
00:09:34,199 --> 00:09:35,992
said you sounded suicidal.

131
00:09:36,409 --> 00:09:38,495
Now, Marty tends
to be extravagant,

132
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:40,163
but he's not the only one.

133
00:09:40,246 --> 00:09:41,831
Jack Singer mentioned,
the other day,

134
00:09:41,915 --> 00:09:43,458
that you were
boozing it up a lot.

135
00:09:43,541 --> 00:09:46,044
Let's face it,
you have been sloughing off.

136
00:09:46,127 --> 00:09:48,463
I understand you haven't even
been doing rounds.

137
00:09:48,546 --> 00:09:50,423
I'm going to do rounds today.

138
00:09:54,719 --> 00:09:56,846
Herb, do you want to take
a couple of days off?

139
00:09:56,930 --> 00:09:57,972
No.

140
00:09:58,056 --> 00:09:59,307
Go down to Montego Bay,

141
00:09:59,390 --> 00:10:01,142
get drunk, get laid,
get a little sun?

142
00:10:01,226 --> 00:10:03,144
For God's sake, John,
I'm 53 years old,

143
00:10:03,228 --> 00:10:04,395
with all the attendant fears.

144
00:10:04,479 --> 00:10:06,189
I just left my wife,
after 24 years.

145
00:10:06,272 --> 00:10:08,525
A standard case of
menopausal melancholy.

146
00:10:08,691 --> 00:10:10,151
Maybe you wanna talk
to Joe Einhorn.

147
00:10:10,235 --> 00:10:12,570
I don't wanna see a psychiatrist,
stop worrying about me.

148
00:10:12,654 --> 00:10:14,465
All I gotta do is get back to work,
I'll be fine.

149
00:10:14,489 --> 00:10:15,674
I'm sorry
if I caused you concern.

150
00:10:15,698 --> 00:10:16,741
Yeah?

151
00:10:16,825 --> 00:10:18,159
Sid just called
from St. Luke's.

152
00:10:18,243 --> 00:10:19,661
He heard the demonstrators
up there

153
00:10:19,744 --> 00:10:21,746
are planning a march
to join a bunch down here.

154
00:10:21,830 --> 00:10:23,123
Oh, God.
Did you call the cops?

155
00:10:23,248 --> 00:10:24,290
Sure.

156
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:38,263
They're all in 806, Doctor.

157
00:10:38,346 --> 00:10:39,597
What happened?

158
00:10:39,681 --> 00:10:43,017
I think I'll just let Mrs. Christie
tell you about it.

159
00:10:57,615 --> 00:10:58,658
Oh, boy.

160
00:10:58,741 --> 00:10:59,784
What happened?

161
00:10:59,868 --> 00:11:02,537
I've seen some pretty good SNAFUs.
But this one...

162
00:11:02,620 --> 00:11:04,581
There's a certain
splendor to this one.

163
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:07,625
One of the night nurses, a per diem,
thought Schaefer was a patient

164
00:11:07,709 --> 00:11:10,253
and plugged an I.V. into him.
He was a diabetic, you know.

165
00:11:10,336 --> 00:11:12,380
What do you mean
she plugged an I.V. into him?

166
00:11:12,463 --> 00:11:14,591
It's a really screwed-up
story. What happened was

167
00:11:14,674 --> 00:11:16,968
we had an old man in that bed who died
last night.

168
00:11:17,051 --> 00:11:18,386
So the bed was available.

169
00:11:18,469 --> 00:11:20,597
You know Schaefer.
He's Sammy Stud.

170
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:22,974
He talked a nurse
into zapping him on the bed?

171
00:11:23,057 --> 00:11:25,560
A girl from Hematology
he's been running around with.

172
00:11:25,643 --> 00:11:26,895
God, it's a Roman farce!

173
00:11:26,978 --> 00:11:29,022
I thought I heard you
out here, Doctor.

174
00:11:30,607 --> 00:11:31,649
Nancy!

175
00:11:31,733 --> 00:11:33,526
I suggest you do that right now.

176
00:11:33,610 --> 00:11:35,904
Dr. Bock, I'm so
terribly sorry. I...

177
00:11:41,451 --> 00:11:42,994
As I understand it,

178
00:11:43,077 --> 00:11:45,205
one of the nurses inadvertently
administered an I.V.

179
00:11:45,288 --> 00:11:47,290
To Schaefer. How the hell
could that happen?

180
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:49,334
We ought to straighten
this out somewhere else.

181
00:11:49,417 --> 00:11:51,211
Yes. Very good idea.

182
00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:54,797
Oh, God, what a mess!

183
00:12:05,433 --> 00:12:07,352
Well, these things happen,
of course.

184
00:12:07,435 --> 00:12:09,520
I suppose, I'd better call
the Medical Examiner.

185
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:11,189
I still don't understand
what happened.

186
00:12:11,272 --> 00:12:13,775
It took us about an hour
to get it sorted out.

187
00:12:13,983 --> 00:12:15,360
It seems a patient
named Guernsey

188
00:12:15,443 --> 00:12:16,819
died last night, in 806.

189
00:12:16,903 --> 00:12:19,072
But that information wasn't given
to the night nurses.

190
00:12:19,155 --> 00:12:21,074
Uh, these things happen.

191
00:12:21,950 --> 00:12:24,160
At any rate,
according to the cardex,

192
00:12:24,244 --> 00:12:28,039
the patient, Guernsey, was down
for 25 m.g. of Sparine at q. 6h.

193
00:12:28,122 --> 00:12:31,626
And Mrs. Reardon sent Nurse Perez
to give him his 12:00 shot.

194
00:12:31,709 --> 00:12:32,961
In the meantime, it seems

195
00:12:33,044 --> 00:12:34,921
Dr. Schaefer usurped
that particular bed

196
00:12:35,004 --> 00:12:36,506
for his own purposes.

197
00:12:36,714 --> 00:12:39,008
Dr. Brubaker suggests
it was for a love tryst

198
00:12:39,092 --> 00:12:41,052
and some weight is
given that hypothesis

199
00:12:41,135 --> 00:12:42,845
by the fact that
Dr. Schaefer was naked.

200
00:12:42,929 --> 00:12:44,514
I got the drift,
Mrs. Christine.

201
00:12:44,597 --> 00:12:46,099
In other words,
Nurse Perez went in

202
00:12:46,182 --> 00:12:47,517
and sedated Dr. Schaefer,

203
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,102
thinking it was
the patient, Guernsey.

204
00:12:49,185 --> 00:12:50,561
My God! What I don't
understand...

205
00:12:50,645 --> 00:12:52,063
May I finish, please, Doctor?

206
00:12:52,146 --> 00:12:53,773
After Perez gave him his shot,

207
00:12:53,856 --> 00:12:56,317
she noticed the I.V. was
pinched off on the bed.

208
00:12:56,985 --> 00:12:59,028
So, she reported this
back to Mrs. Reardon

209
00:12:59,112 --> 00:13:02,490
who then assigned Nurse Rivers
to restart the I.V.

210
00:13:02,657 --> 00:13:03,908
Now, Rivers was a float.

211
00:13:03,992 --> 00:13:06,327
She didn't even know the staff people
on the floor.

212
00:13:06,411 --> 00:13:08,746
Nobody knew what the patient Guernsey
looked like anyway,

213
00:13:08,830 --> 00:13:10,999
since he'd only been
admitted that morning.

214
00:13:11,833 --> 00:13:13,418
So she plugged
an I.V. into him.

215
00:13:13,501 --> 00:13:14,752
Yes.

216
00:13:15,461 --> 00:13:16,504
How much?

217
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:17,630
A liter.

218
00:13:19,090 --> 00:13:22,010
Five percent glucose solution
won't kill anybody.

219
00:13:23,761 --> 00:13:25,013
Wasn't dehydrated, was he?

220
00:13:25,096 --> 00:13:26,889
Did he have any other
ancillary conditions?

221
00:13:26,973 --> 00:13:29,767
Didn't anybody bother to go check on him
during the night?

222
00:13:29,851 --> 00:13:32,895
Even under the impression
that he was merely a patient?

223
00:13:32,979 --> 00:13:35,064
Was he hyperosmolar?
Did he have a bad heart?

224
00:13:35,148 --> 00:13:37,483
He must have had
some sort of thrombosis.

225
00:13:40,403 --> 00:13:43,031
I want the p-post done here,
Mr. Hitchcock.

226
00:13:43,614 --> 00:13:45,658
You and I better have a little chat,
Mrs. Christie,

227
00:13:45,742 --> 00:13:47,452
about your excessive
use of float nurses.

228
00:13:47,535 --> 00:13:49,620
I've got nearly a 1,000
nurses in this hospital...

229
00:13:49,704 --> 00:13:51,539
And every time one
of them has her period,

230
00:13:51,622 --> 00:13:53,458
she disappears for three days.

231
00:13:53,541 --> 00:13:54,709
My doctors complain regularly

232
00:13:54,792 --> 00:13:56,836
they can't find the same nurse
on the same floor

233
00:13:56,919 --> 00:13:57,920
two days in a row.

234
00:13:58,004 --> 00:14:00,715
Now, what am I gonna tell
this boy, Schaefer's parents?

235
00:14:01,049 --> 00:14:03,301
That a substitute
nurse assassinated him

236
00:14:03,384 --> 00:14:04,927
because she couldn't
tell the doctors

237
00:14:05,011 --> 00:14:06,429
from the patients on the floor?

238
00:14:06,512 --> 00:14:07,722
My God!

239
00:14:08,056 --> 00:14:10,975
The incompetence here
is absolutely radiant!

240
00:14:14,604 --> 00:14:16,439
two separate nurses
walk into a room

241
00:14:16,522 --> 00:14:17,562
and stick needles in a man

242
00:14:17,607 --> 00:14:19,317
and one of those is
a Number 18 Jelco,

243
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:20,985
tourniquet the poor
son of a bitch,

244
00:14:21,069 --> 00:14:23,488
anchor the poor son of a bitch's arm
with adhesive tape,

245
00:14:23,571 --> 00:14:26,199
and it's the wrong
poor son of a bitch!

246
00:14:26,491 --> 00:14:27,909
My God! I mean,

247
00:14:27,992 --> 00:14:30,286
where do you train
your nurses, Mrs. Christie?

248
00:14:30,370 --> 00:14:31,579
Dachau?

249
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,335
All right.

250
00:14:39,379 --> 00:14:41,631
Wrap him up and get him
down to Pathology.

251
00:14:41,714 --> 00:14:44,092
I'm especially interested
in his blood sugar.

252
00:14:44,175 --> 00:14:46,010
A liter of glucose
never killed anybody.

253
00:14:46,094 --> 00:14:48,930
Your ladies must have
done something else to him.

254
00:14:49,514 --> 00:14:51,641
Will there be
anything else, Doctor?

255
00:14:51,724 --> 00:14:52,767
No.

256
00:14:54,519 --> 00:14:56,104
Before you call
the family, Doctor,

257
00:14:56,187 --> 00:14:58,189
I wish you'd speak to
Mr. Mead about this.

258
00:14:58,272 --> 00:15:00,733
We'd like, naturally,
to avoid litigation.

259
00:15:17,792 --> 00:15:19,460
A few things
have been piling up.

260
00:15:19,627 --> 00:15:21,295
Would you like to go into them?

261
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:28,845
A quickie.

262
00:15:29,470 --> 00:15:32,390
Dr. Esterhazy wants to start hiring
temporary people

263
00:15:32,473 --> 00:15:34,350
to cover the summer vacations.

264
00:15:34,434 --> 00:15:36,811
He says, last year,
some of the replacement people

265
00:15:36,894 --> 00:15:39,605
didn't receive their checks
until they waited six months.

266
00:15:39,689 --> 00:15:41,441
He wonders whether you
could do something

267
00:15:41,524 --> 00:15:43,818
about getting these
people paid more promptly.

268
00:15:45,236 --> 00:15:46,779
Ms. Aronovici complains

269
00:15:46,863 --> 00:15:49,615
the lab reports are coming
in slow into the E.R.

270
00:15:49,991 --> 00:15:51,784
I called Dr. Immelman
about that,

271
00:15:51,868 --> 00:15:54,495
and she says three microscopes
have been stolen out of her lab

272
00:15:54,579 --> 00:15:56,247
in the last two months.

273
00:15:56,497 --> 00:15:59,500
Charlie Walters also
complains about pilferage.

274
00:15:59,834 --> 00:16:02,170
I've clumped all these
together for you.

275
00:16:03,337 --> 00:16:05,131
Now, as you know, Doctor,

276
00:16:05,214 --> 00:16:07,884
we've agreed to take over
the local ambulance cases

277
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:10,011
as part of
the hospital's commitment

278
00:16:10,094 --> 00:16:11,512
to the community,

279
00:16:11,846 --> 00:16:14,682
and it's created
a serious overload in E.R.

280
00:16:15,475 --> 00:16:17,393
I don't know why
this was dumped in our lap,

281
00:16:17,477 --> 00:16:18,978
but they seem to think...

282
00:16:19,061 --> 00:16:21,230
Find out if Dr. Einhorn
is in his office.

283
00:16:21,814 --> 00:16:23,483
Which Dr. Einhorn?

284
00:16:23,691 --> 00:16:25,276
Ophthalmology or Psychiatry?

285
00:16:25,359 --> 00:16:27,987
Psychiatry. Never mind.
I'll look in, myself.

286
00:16:46,339 --> 00:16:47,590
Is he in?

287
00:16:47,673 --> 00:16:48,674
Uh-huh.

288
00:16:49,467 --> 00:16:50,801
Can I have a minute, Joe?

289
00:16:50,885 --> 00:16:52,136
Of course.

290
00:16:56,766 --> 00:16:59,977
I've been having periods
of acute depression, recently.

291
00:17:01,729 --> 00:17:03,356
Apparently, it's becoming
noticeable.

292
00:17:03,439 --> 00:17:05,900
A number of people
have remarked about it.

293
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:09,862
Anyway, uh, John Sundstrom
thought it might be a good idea

294
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:11,864
if I spoke to you about it.

295
00:17:11,948 --> 00:17:13,324
Do you want to sit down, Herb?

296
00:17:13,407 --> 00:17:16,077
No. I'm not good
at confessional.

297
00:17:20,081 --> 00:17:21,874
Well, what can I tell you?

298
00:17:24,460 --> 00:17:26,212
The last year, two, three...

299
00:17:26,337 --> 00:17:27,588
it goes way back, I suppose.

300
00:17:27,672 --> 00:17:29,590
I can remember entertaining
suicidal thoughts

301
00:17:29,674 --> 00:17:31,259
as a college student.

302
00:17:32,009 --> 00:17:33,511
At any rate,

303
00:17:34,554 --> 00:17:37,640
I've always found
life demanding.

304
00:17:40,142 --> 00:17:43,229
I'm an only child of
a lower-middle-class people.

305
00:17:44,564 --> 00:17:46,315
I was the glory of my parents.

306
00:17:46,399 --> 00:17:48,484
"My son, the doctor."
You know.

307
00:17:48,734 --> 00:17:50,194
I was always top of my class.

308
00:17:50,278 --> 00:17:53,281
Scholarship to Harvard.
The boy genius. The...

309
00:17:54,115 --> 00:17:55,408
Brilliant eccentric.

310
00:17:57,535 --> 00:17:59,036
Terrified of women,

311
00:18:00,454 --> 00:18:01,956
clumsy at sports.

312
00:18:03,624 --> 00:18:06,127
God, Joe, how do I
go about this?

313
00:18:06,502 --> 00:18:09,338
I understand you just
separated from your wife.

314
00:18:09,463 --> 00:18:11,674
I left her a dozen times.

315
00:18:11,757 --> 00:18:13,801
She left me a dozen times.

316
00:18:14,594 --> 00:18:16,721
We stayed together through a process
of attrition.

317
00:18:16,804 --> 00:18:19,724
Obviously,
sadomasochistic dependency.

318
00:18:21,475 --> 00:18:22,893
My home is hell.

319
00:18:23,561 --> 00:18:25,229
We've got a 23-year-old boy.

320
00:18:25,313 --> 00:18:27,857
I threw him out of
the house last year.

321
00:18:28,649 --> 00:18:30,985
A shaggy-haired Maoist.

322
00:18:31,652 --> 00:18:33,487
I don't know where he is.

323
00:18:33,988 --> 00:18:35,906
Presumably, building bombs
in basements

324
00:18:35,990 --> 00:18:38,784
as an expression of his
universal brotherhood.

325
00:18:40,161 --> 00:18:41,662
I've got a 17-year-old daughter

326
00:18:41,746 --> 00:18:43,831
who's had two abortions
in two years,

327
00:18:45,124 --> 00:18:47,043
got arrested last week
at a rock festival,

328
00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:48,586
for pushing drugs.

329
00:18:49,378 --> 00:18:51,005
They let her go.

330
00:18:52,757 --> 00:18:55,134
The typical
affluent American family.

331
00:18:58,471 --> 00:19:00,765
I don't mean to be
facile about this.

332
00:19:02,767 --> 00:19:05,478
I blame myself for
those two useless young people.

333
00:19:06,562 --> 00:19:08,356
I never exercised
parental authority.

334
00:19:08,439 --> 00:19:10,191
I'm no good at that.

335
00:19:11,525 --> 00:19:13,861
Oh, God, I'm no good
at this, either, Joe.

336
00:19:13,986 --> 00:19:15,363
Let's just forget
the whole thing.

337
00:19:15,446 --> 00:19:17,198
I'm sorry I bothered you.

338
00:19:17,365 --> 00:19:20,576
How serious are your
suicidal speculations, Herb?

339
00:19:23,204 --> 00:19:25,623
Well, I amuse myself with different ways
of killing myself

340
00:19:25,706 --> 00:19:27,500
that don't look like suicide.

341
00:19:27,583 --> 00:19:29,919
I wouldn't want to do my family
out of the insurance.

342
00:19:30,002 --> 00:19:32,838
Well, digitalis will give you
an arrhythmia.

343
00:19:33,881 --> 00:19:36,050
A good toxologist
would find traces.

344
00:19:37,009 --> 00:19:38,302
Potassium's much better.

345
00:19:38,386 --> 00:19:40,763
60 milli-equivalent.
Instantaneous.

346
00:19:41,055 --> 00:19:43,974
Of course, then you're stuck with how
to get rid of the hypodermic.

347
00:19:44,058 --> 00:19:45,518
40 milli-equivalent.

348
00:19:45,601 --> 00:19:47,978
Gives you time
to dispose of the evidence.

349
00:19:48,062 --> 00:19:50,898
You seem to have given considerable
thought to the matter.

350
00:19:50,981 --> 00:19:51,982
Hmm.

351
00:19:52,108 --> 00:19:53,109
You ought to know

352
00:19:53,275 --> 00:19:55,820
that a man who talks about it
all the time never does it.

353
00:19:55,903 --> 00:19:57,238
I don't know.

354
00:19:57,571 --> 00:19:59,198
I see a man exhausted,

355
00:19:59,573 --> 00:20:01,075
emotionally drained,

356
00:20:01,742 --> 00:20:03,244
riddled with guilt,

357
00:20:03,994 --> 00:20:06,789
has been systematically
stripping himself of wife,

358
00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:07,957
children, friends,

359
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,084
isolating himself
from the world.

360
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:12,753
Are you impotent?

361
00:20:13,546 --> 00:20:14,797
Intermittently.

362
00:20:15,089 --> 00:20:16,132
What does that mean?

363
00:20:16,215 --> 00:20:19,260
Means I haven't tried
in so long, I don't know.

364
00:20:21,887 --> 00:20:23,431
Let's just drop
the whole thing, Joe.

365
00:20:23,514 --> 00:20:25,975
I feel humiliated
and stupid. I...

366
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,310
Just got to pull myself together

367
00:20:28,394 --> 00:20:30,020
and get back into my work.

368
00:20:30,104 --> 00:20:31,355
I'm sorry I troubled you.

369
00:20:31,439 --> 00:20:33,607
Take care of yourself.
I'll see you later.

370
00:20:37,236 --> 00:20:39,196
Ten-four, save our homes.

371
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,073
two-four, we the poor.

372
00:20:41,157 --> 00:20:43,075
Don't go 'round.
Don't tear us down.

373
00:20:43,159 --> 00:20:45,035
Ten-four, save our homes.

374
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,954
Two-four, we the poor.

375
00:20:47,037 --> 00:20:48,831
Don't go 'round.
Don't tear us down.

376
00:20:48,914 --> 00:20:50,791
Ten-four, save our homes.

377
00:20:50,875 --> 00:20:52,710
Two-four, we the poor.

378
00:20:52,793 --> 00:20:53,961
Don't go 'round.
Don't tear...

379
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:50,810
<i>Dr. Taffy, Dr. Taffy, Dr. Lewis Taffy.</i>

380
00:21:50,893 --> 00:21:53,145
<i>Dr. Rashid, Dr. Rashid.</i>

381
00:21:53,229 --> 00:21:54,772
- All set?
- Yes, sir.

382
00:22:02,613 --> 00:22:04,198
Who was that exotic group?

383
00:22:04,281 --> 00:22:06,575
You got me. They've been here
about an hour.

384
00:22:06,659 --> 00:22:09,370
I think they're with
the old man in, uh, 806, sir.

385
00:22:09,578 --> 00:22:13,082
Dr. Perry said he picked the tuberculosis
and liver nodes for today, right?

386
00:22:13,165 --> 00:22:14,166
Yes, sir.

387
00:22:14,250 --> 00:22:15,960
Good, because that's
the one I studied up.

388
00:22:16,043 --> 00:22:17,044
A hell of a case.

389
00:22:17,127 --> 00:22:18,128
Yes, sir.

390
00:22:28,347 --> 00:22:29,515
All right, who's presenting?

391
00:22:29,598 --> 00:22:31,308
I am, sir. Should I start?

392
00:22:32,476 --> 00:22:33,894
Mr. Hemmings?

393
00:22:34,854 --> 00:22:36,355
Mr. Hemmings!

394
00:22:37,940 --> 00:22:41,151
Is there anybody seated who
hasn't been to see me first?

395
00:22:41,235 --> 00:22:43,028
Is there anybody here
who has not given me

396
00:22:43,112 --> 00:22:44,613
their health-insurance number?

397
00:22:49,368 --> 00:22:50,870
Emergency Room.

398
00:22:52,371 --> 00:22:54,582
I don't know, Sybil.
What's his name?

399
00:22:54,707 --> 00:22:56,041
Would you wait a moment, please?

400
00:22:56,125 --> 00:22:57,167
I'm on the phone.

401
00:22:57,251 --> 00:22:59,211
Can't you see I'm on the phone?

402
00:22:59,503 --> 00:23:01,338
I am, Sybil.
I'm looking.

403
00:23:01,422 --> 00:23:02,423
Just...

404
00:23:03,924 --> 00:23:06,051
Of course not.
Do they ever?

405
00:23:09,346 --> 00:23:11,056
Would you mind, please?
Excuse me.

406
00:23:11,599 --> 00:23:12,683
32?

407
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,978
Telescope sights.
They follow me everywhere.

408
00:23:16,061 --> 00:23:17,563
Three big black men.

409
00:23:17,646 --> 00:23:20,065
Naked, completely exposed,
right in the street.

410
00:23:20,399 --> 00:23:22,610
Hanging down to their knees.
It's disgusting.

411
00:23:24,570 --> 00:23:26,238
Did you call upstairs
and tell them

412
00:23:26,322 --> 00:23:27,948
to admit a patient
named Mitgang?

413
00:23:28,032 --> 00:23:29,450
Is that the concussion?

414
00:23:29,533 --> 00:23:30,576
I don't know.

415
00:23:30,659 --> 00:23:32,244
They said you didn't
fill out the chart.

416
00:23:32,328 --> 00:23:33,829
Where do you come
off sending anyone

417
00:23:33,913 --> 00:23:35,581
up to Admitting, without my ok?

418
00:23:35,706 --> 00:23:38,292
Sally, would you get
the hell out of here?

419
00:23:38,834 --> 00:23:40,252
The patient's in
the holding room.

420
00:23:40,336 --> 00:23:41,754
You want his Blue Cross number,

421
00:23:41,837 --> 00:23:43,923
you go in and you get
his Blue Cross number.

422
00:23:45,132 --> 00:23:46,383
Dr. Spezio,

423
00:23:46,467 --> 00:23:49,511
may I see you for a moment, Doctor,
if you don't mind?

424
00:23:49,970 --> 00:23:52,222
Doctor,
is this your handwriting,

425
00:23:52,306 --> 00:23:54,016
if you don't mind?

426
00:23:54,433 --> 00:23:56,435
Am I supposed to read this?

427
00:23:57,561 --> 00:23:59,980
Was that a sprain?
Was that a broken wrist?

428
00:24:00,064 --> 00:24:01,941
I can't read that scribbling.

429
00:24:02,066 --> 00:24:03,859
I mean,
I have to bill these people.

430
00:24:03,943 --> 00:24:05,986
I know you doctors
are the ministering angels,

431
00:24:06,070 --> 00:24:08,113
and I'm the bitch from
the accounting department,

432
00:24:08,197 --> 00:24:09,531
but I have my job to do, too.

433
00:24:09,615 --> 00:24:11,367
I mean,
if you don't mind, Doctor.

434
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:14,203
The kid had a colly fracture,
we had him in the O.R.,

435
00:24:14,286 --> 00:24:16,497
we reduced it, and
we gave him a small cast.

436
00:24:16,580 --> 00:24:18,582
But did you give him a sling?

437
00:24:18,666 --> 00:24:20,668
You must've taken X-rays.

438
00:24:21,085 --> 00:24:23,879
How am I supposed
to make out the charges?

439
00:24:24,588 --> 00:24:27,383
<i>Dr. Kurt, Dr. Sean Kurt.</i>

440
00:24:28,801 --> 00:24:31,470
<i>Dr. Hardeck, Dr. Hardeck.</i>

441
00:24:32,554 --> 00:24:33,973
Are you Mitgang?

442
00:24:34,264 --> 00:24:36,725
Uh, I'm Mitgang.

443
00:24:36,809 --> 00:24:38,227
I'm Mitgang.

444
00:24:41,021 --> 00:24:43,482
Do you carry
Blue Cross, Blue Shield,

445
00:24:43,565 --> 00:24:45,317
Mr. Mitgang,
if you don't mind?

446
00:24:47,528 --> 00:24:49,363
Do you have your card with you?

447
00:24:49,488 --> 00:24:50,489
Oh!

448
00:24:50,739 --> 00:24:52,700
Do you know your number?

449
00:24:52,825 --> 00:24:53,826
Uh!

450
00:24:53,993 --> 00:24:55,911
Mr. Mitgang,
you are not leaving this room

451
00:24:55,995 --> 00:24:57,287
until I have this information.

452
00:24:57,371 --> 00:24:58,622
Will you leave that man alone?

453
00:25:00,416 --> 00:25:04,545
Do you mind if I at least ask this
gentleman to fill out his chart?

454
00:25:05,045 --> 00:25:07,172
Let me have a C.C. of adrenalin...

455
00:25:12,594 --> 00:25:15,556
May I have your A.H.S.
policy number, sir?

456
00:25:17,641 --> 00:25:19,518
Do you carry Blue Cross?

457
00:25:19,727 --> 00:25:21,145
Blue Shield?

458
00:25:21,270 --> 00:25:22,563
...Mrs. Ferguson.

459
00:25:22,646 --> 00:25:24,356
Yes, Doctor.

460
00:25:27,401 --> 00:25:28,777
Dr. Spezio!

461
00:25:29,695 --> 00:25:32,906
I think one of your patients in here
is dead, Dr. Spezio.

462
00:25:33,032 --> 00:25:35,075
Why do you say that,
Mrs. Cushing?

463
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,996
Because he wouldn't give me
his Blue Cross number, Dr. Spezio.

464
00:25:49,798 --> 00:25:51,008
Christ!

465
00:25:51,675 --> 00:25:53,969
How the hell long has
this man been lying here?

466
00:25:54,053 --> 00:25:56,138
Isn't this the doctor
that came in around 9:00?

467
00:25:56,597 --> 00:25:58,891
"For Pete's sake,"
I said, "this is a hospital.

468
00:25:59,058 --> 00:26:01,310
One of our feed
lines just blew."

469
00:26:01,477 --> 00:26:03,687
I mean, we're lucky
to trace it in time.

470
00:26:03,854 --> 00:26:05,689
Have we covered
just about everything?

471
00:26:05,773 --> 00:26:09,151
Dr. Kish has been driving me nuts
about the O.R. schedule.

472
00:26:09,234 --> 00:26:11,653
He's supposed to
see me about that.

473
00:26:12,571 --> 00:26:13,989
This is the Emergency Room.

474
00:26:14,073 --> 00:26:16,158
One of the doctors
just died of a heart attack.

475
00:26:16,241 --> 00:26:17,284
One of our staff?

476
00:26:17,367 --> 00:26:18,744
I think so.

477
00:26:21,371 --> 00:26:23,874
Tom, you want to go down
to the Emergency Room?

478
00:26:23,957 --> 00:26:25,125
One of our doctors just died.

479
00:26:25,209 --> 00:26:26,376
What, another one?

480
00:26:26,460 --> 00:26:27,586
Yeah.
See what that's about.

481
00:26:27,669 --> 00:26:29,505
I'll be on Holly 8,
and I'll be right back.

482
00:26:29,797 --> 00:26:31,673
It's no longer pilferage, Milton,

483
00:26:31,757 --> 00:26:34,051
it's reached
the point of piracy.

484
00:26:34,218 --> 00:26:35,969
That's the third
microscope this month.

485
00:26:36,053 --> 00:26:38,514
Why can't we get together on this
sometime this afternoon?

486
00:26:38,597 --> 00:26:39,598
How about 1:00?

487
00:26:39,681 --> 00:26:40,682
1:00 will be fine.

488
00:26:40,891 --> 00:26:42,476
Your brother's in his room,
Mr. Mead.

489
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:43,602
What one is it?

490
00:26:43,685 --> 00:26:44,728
806.

491
00:26:44,812 --> 00:26:47,314
<i>Dr. George Marasco.</i>

492
00:26:47,397 --> 00:26:50,109
<i>Dr. Joseph Sheen,
Dr. Joseph Sheen.</i>

493
00:26:52,236 --> 00:26:53,362
For heaven's sake, Willie,

494
00:26:53,445 --> 00:26:55,447
you're gonna be in the hospital
for two lousy days.

495
00:26:55,531 --> 00:26:57,032
What're you making
such a fuss about?

496
00:26:57,116 --> 00:26:59,034
You're supposed to be
such a big wheel here.

497
00:26:59,118 --> 00:27:00,661
There are no
private rooms available.

498
00:27:00,744 --> 00:27:02,871
If they brought in Jesus Christ
fresh off the cross,

499
00:27:02,955 --> 00:27:04,373
I couldn't get him
a private room.

500
00:27:04,456 --> 00:27:06,583
Well, I'm not staying in a room
with a dying man.

501
00:27:06,667 --> 00:27:07,960
He's not dying.

502
00:27:08,043 --> 00:27:10,587
They'll screen him off.
You won't even know he's here.

503
00:27:10,671 --> 00:27:12,381
If you want a private room,
go on home.

504
00:27:12,464 --> 00:27:14,341
And I'll call you
the first one that comes up.

505
00:27:14,424 --> 00:27:16,760
But you phoned me in a panic,
you're going on a vacation.

506
00:27:16,844 --> 00:27:19,304
For heaven's sake,
they'll cut this polyp out tomorrow,

507
00:27:19,388 --> 00:27:21,640
you'll be home Thursday,
you'll be in Miami Friday.

508
00:27:21,723 --> 00:27:23,851
Marilyn, will you talk
some sense into this lunatic?

509
00:27:23,934 --> 00:27:25,561
You said it.
He's a lunatic.

510
00:27:26,019 --> 00:27:27,187
Big wheel!

511
00:27:27,271 --> 00:27:29,189
Can't even get me
a private room.

512
00:27:29,398 --> 00:27:30,899
I'll get you a tranquilizer.

513
00:27:31,316 --> 00:27:33,485
{\an8}"5. A full

514
00:27:35,362 --> 00:27:36,613
{\an8}abdomen..."

515
00:27:38,490 --> 00:27:40,659
{\an8}Contrasted with
wasting elsewhere.

516
00:27:40,951 --> 00:27:42,828
"6. Ascites..."

517
00:27:44,454 --> 00:27:46,832
With a protein
content above 4 grams.

518
00:27:47,082 --> 00:27:49,376
Unexplained anemia, leukopenia.

519
00:27:49,918 --> 00:27:52,880
Unexplained elevation of the serum
gamma globulin level.

520
00:27:52,963 --> 00:27:55,591
Especially
abnormal flocculation tests,

521
00:27:55,799 --> 00:27:57,259
and of course,
a positive P.P.D.

522
00:27:57,342 --> 00:27:59,386
Now, all of these findings,

523
00:27:59,761 --> 00:28:01,972
um, assume special
significance in negroes.

524
00:28:02,347 --> 00:28:03,348
Ahem.

525
00:28:03,432 --> 00:28:05,684
Well, this has been
a very commendable workup.

526
00:28:05,767 --> 00:28:09,021
It's as commendable a workup of an F.U.O.
as I can remember.

527
00:28:09,146 --> 00:28:11,982
The staff on this floor
is to be applauded.

528
00:28:12,441 --> 00:28:14,776
All right, let's go
take a look at the girl.

529
00:28:14,860 --> 00:28:17,154
It's a reportable case,
Brubaker. I'd write it up.

530
00:28:17,237 --> 00:28:18,238
Thank you, sir.

531
00:28:20,365 --> 00:28:21,533
Nurse.

532
00:28:22,075 --> 00:28:24,494
Uh, nurse, who's the senior
resident on this floor?

533
00:28:24,620 --> 00:28:26,288
That would be
Dr. Brubaker.

534
00:28:26,371 --> 00:28:29,541
Oh, but I'm afraid he's at Chief
of Service rounds right now.

535
00:28:29,625 --> 00:28:30,751
That's this way?

536
00:28:30,834 --> 00:28:31,960
Mmm-hmm.

537
00:28:34,171 --> 00:28:36,465
I wonder if there might not be
some correlation between

538
00:28:36,548 --> 00:28:39,134
hepatic tuberculosis
and drug addiction.

539
00:28:39,259 --> 00:28:42,262
Presumably, there was an early
consideration of S.B.E.?

540
00:28:42,346 --> 00:28:44,431
Yes, sir. We discounted
it after, uh,

541
00:28:44,514 --> 00:28:46,141
repeated blood cultures
were negative.

542
00:28:46,225 --> 00:28:47,809
You, Ambler.
Is that right, "Ambler"?

543
00:28:47,893 --> 00:28:48,894
Yes, sir.

544
00:28:48,977 --> 00:28:51,230
What else do you look for
in Bacterial Endocarditis?

545
00:28:53,106 --> 00:28:55,609
<i>Dr. Gary Hardman.</i>

546
00:28:56,777 --> 00:28:59,905
Dr. Brubaker,
can I see you for a minute, please?

547
00:28:59,988 --> 00:29:02,241
<i>Mrs. Christie,
Angela Christie.</i>

548
00:29:06,286 --> 00:29:08,830
Still a little icteric.
Who's got an ophthalmoscope?

549
00:29:14,711 --> 00:29:16,797
Did anyone note Roth spots?

550
00:29:19,216 --> 00:29:20,884
Don't worry about it.
There aren't any.

551
00:29:22,261 --> 00:29:25,430
Ambler, you're our big man
on S.B.E.,

552
00:29:25,514 --> 00:29:27,015
what was the latex fixation?

553
00:29:27,099 --> 00:29:28,684
It wasn't done, sir.

554
00:29:28,767 --> 00:29:29,810
No?

555
00:29:32,271 --> 00:29:34,189
Well, don't you think
that's an important test

556
00:29:34,273 --> 00:29:36,358
to differentiate S.B.E.
From miliary T.B.?

557
00:29:36,441 --> 00:29:38,193
Not you, Biegelman. Ambler.

558
00:29:38,694 --> 00:29:40,737
Well, there's about
a 70 percent incidence

559
00:29:40,821 --> 00:29:42,614
of false-positive latex
in S.B.E.

560
00:29:43,198 --> 00:29:44,950
Well, you have been reading up.

561
00:29:45,075 --> 00:29:47,035
If the diagnosis
were S.B.E.,

562
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,871
would a positive latex
indicate anything in the therapy?

563
00:29:49,997 --> 00:29:51,832
We'd expect the latex
to become negative.

564
00:29:51,915 --> 00:29:52,958
If?

565
00:29:53,041 --> 00:29:55,460
If the antibiotic
therapy were successful.

566
00:29:55,711 --> 00:29:57,587
Are you applying for
your internship here?

567
00:29:57,671 --> 00:29:59,131
I'm not sure.

568
00:29:59,214 --> 00:30:00,299
Come and see me.

569
00:30:00,382 --> 00:30:02,384
Would you sit up, please, miss?

570
00:30:15,188 --> 00:30:17,816
We've got a little
thing here, Doctor.

571
00:30:19,985 --> 00:30:22,863
The girl over there is the daughter
of the patient in 806.

572
00:30:22,988 --> 00:30:24,531
He is at the moment comatose,

573
00:30:24,656 --> 00:30:26,950
and requires intravenous
feeding and meds.

574
00:30:27,034 --> 00:30:29,244
The thing is, the daughter wants
to take the father

575
00:30:29,328 --> 00:30:32,122
out of the hospital and back to Mexico,
where they live.

576
00:30:32,205 --> 00:30:33,582
The patient's name is Drummond.

577
00:30:33,665 --> 00:30:35,375
He's apparently
a Methodist missionary.

578
00:30:35,459 --> 00:30:37,169
And he and his daughter
run some kind of

579
00:30:37,252 --> 00:30:39,504
religious mission
among the Apache Indians.

580
00:30:40,088 --> 00:30:42,007
The daughter claims
to be a licensed nurse,

581
00:30:42,090 --> 00:30:44,384
so she can give the necessary
I.V.s and treatment.

582
00:30:44,509 --> 00:30:47,012
I certainly don't think
he should be let out of the hospital.

583
00:30:47,179 --> 00:30:49,556
The attending, that's the guy in brown
over there, concurs.

584
00:30:49,639 --> 00:30:51,975
Wait, let me
have all that again.

585
00:30:52,517 --> 00:30:54,853
As a matter of fact,
doctor, this is Dr. Biegelman's case.

586
00:30:54,936 --> 00:30:57,689
Well, never mind the professional ethics.
What happened?

587
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,275
I don't know why I'm covering up

588
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:03,195
for that son of a bitch
in Farkis Pavilion anyway.

589
00:31:03,570 --> 00:31:04,905
The patient, a man of 56,

590
00:31:04,988 --> 00:31:07,741
was admitted to the hospital
10 days ago in good health,

591
00:31:07,824 --> 00:31:09,826
for a checkup.
No visible distress.

592
00:31:09,910 --> 00:31:11,703
We did the mandatory
workup on him.

593
00:31:11,787 --> 00:31:14,706
Blood cultures, stool, L.E. preps,
chest E.K.G., all negative.

594
00:31:14,873 --> 00:31:17,751
However, there was some evidence
of protein in his urine.

595
00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:20,796
I don't know how that guy in Farkis
Pavilion found out about it.

596
00:31:20,879 --> 00:31:23,715
Maybe he had one of...
a deal with one of the girls in the lab,

597
00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:25,384
anyway,
he turned up the next day,

598
00:31:25,467 --> 00:31:28,428
conned the patient into signing
an authorization for a biopsy.

599
00:31:28,512 --> 00:31:30,222
What son of a bitch
in parkis pavillion?

600
00:31:30,305 --> 00:31:31,890
Some postgrad fellow named Ives.

601
00:31:31,973 --> 00:31:33,433
An Elroy Ives.
I never met him.

602
00:31:33,558 --> 00:31:35,644
He's on one of the immunology
research programs.

603
00:31:35,727 --> 00:31:38,522
Some postgrad came up here,
did a biopsy on the patient?

604
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,816
Yes, sir. He conned Biegelman
with that story...

605
00:31:40,899 --> 00:31:42,567
Protein in the urine?

606
00:31:42,651 --> 00:31:43,902
And he biopsied the man?

607
00:31:43,985 --> 00:31:45,320
And he nicked a vessel in it.

608
00:31:45,404 --> 00:31:47,322
At 2:00 in the morning,
they woke up Biegelman,

609
00:31:47,406 --> 00:31:49,199
because the nurse found
the patient in shock.

610
00:31:49,282 --> 00:31:51,451
He called the kidney people
for a consult right away.

611
00:31:51,535 --> 00:31:54,579
But what was there to see?
The patient was sour and bleeding.

612
00:31:54,704 --> 00:31:56,206
Spoke to this fellow, Sutcliff.

613
00:31:56,289 --> 00:31:58,375
He referred us to
a surgeon named Welbeck.

614
00:31:58,500 --> 00:31:59,584
Welbeck!
That barber?

615
00:31:59,668 --> 00:32:00,836
You ain't heard nothing yet.

616
00:32:00,919 --> 00:32:03,130
We finally got Welbeck
around 4:00 in the morning.

617
00:32:03,213 --> 00:32:05,674
He said, go ahead.
So they laid on the surgery for 8:00.

618
00:32:05,757 --> 00:32:07,175
Welbeck turned up half-stoned,

619
00:32:07,259 --> 00:32:09,219
orders an I.V.P.,
clears him for allergies...

620
00:32:09,302 --> 00:32:10,613
- Without actually testing?
- Right.

621
00:32:10,637 --> 00:32:11,972
And the patient went into shock.

622
00:32:12,055 --> 00:32:13,348
And tubular necrosis.

623
00:32:13,432 --> 00:32:14,933
They lopped out
the bleeding kidney,

624
00:32:15,016 --> 00:32:17,352
ran him back to the room,
we sat around waiting for urine.

625
00:32:17,436 --> 00:32:19,521
Fever began spiking
like hell, uremia,

626
00:32:19,604 --> 00:32:21,690
vomiting.
So we arranged hemodialysis.

627
00:32:21,773 --> 00:32:23,859
He's putting out good water now,

628
00:32:23,942 --> 00:32:26,027
but some nurse goofed
on his last treatment.

629
00:32:26,111 --> 00:32:27,863
A shunt separated, something.

630
00:32:27,946 --> 00:32:28,989
Blood pressure plunged.

631
00:32:29,072 --> 00:32:30,282
They ran him up to I.C.U.,

632
00:32:30,365 --> 00:32:31,700
gave him two units
of whole blood.

633
00:32:31,783 --> 00:32:34,202
All vital signs are normal now,
except he's comatose.

634
00:32:34,286 --> 00:32:35,495
That was two days ago.

635
00:32:35,579 --> 00:32:36,788
In short...

636
00:32:37,289 --> 00:32:40,417
A man comes into this hospital
in perfect health,

637
00:32:40,667 --> 00:32:43,920
and in the space of one week,
we chop out one kidney,

638
00:32:44,004 --> 00:32:47,090
damage another, reduce him to coma,
and damn near kill him.

639
00:32:47,174 --> 00:32:48,258
Yes, sir.

640
00:32:49,968 --> 00:32:51,761
You know, Brubaker,

641
00:32:52,804 --> 00:32:54,806
last night I sat
in my hotel room,

642
00:32:54,890 --> 00:32:57,267
reviewing the shambles
of my life

643
00:32:57,517 --> 00:32:59,561
and contemplating suicide.

644
00:33:00,479 --> 00:33:02,647
I said, "No, Bock, don't do it.

645
00:33:02,731 --> 00:33:05,150
"You're a doctor,
you're a healer.

646
00:33:05,442 --> 00:33:08,904
"You're the Chief of Medicine at one
of the great hospitals of the world.

647
00:33:08,987 --> 00:33:12,365
You are a necessary person.
Your life is meaningful."

648
00:33:13,283 --> 00:33:15,327
Then I walk in here today,

649
00:33:15,619 --> 00:33:17,245
and I find out that
one of my doctors

650
00:33:17,329 --> 00:33:18,872
was killed by a couple of nurses

651
00:33:18,955 --> 00:33:20,415
who mistook him for a patient

652
00:33:20,499 --> 00:33:23,043
because he screwed a technician
from the Nephrology Lab.

653
00:33:23,126 --> 00:33:24,169
Hematology...

654
00:33:24,252 --> 00:33:25,253
And now, you come to me

655
00:33:25,337 --> 00:33:27,422
with this gothic
horror story in which

656
00:33:27,506 --> 00:33:29,591
the entire machinery
of modern medicine

657
00:33:29,841 --> 00:33:33,303
has apparently conspired
to destroy one lousy patient.

658
00:33:34,596 --> 00:33:37,265
Now, how am I to sustain
my feeling

659
00:33:37,349 --> 00:33:39,976
of meaningfulness
in the face of this?

660
00:33:40,727 --> 00:33:42,812
I'll tell you something,
Brubaker.

661
00:33:44,439 --> 00:33:46,858
If there were
an oven around here,

662
00:33:47,734 --> 00:33:49,694
I'd stick my head in it.

663
00:33:50,362 --> 00:33:53,782
Now, what was the name of that son
of a bitch from Farkis Pavilion, again?

664
00:33:53,865 --> 00:33:55,951
Ives, sir.
Elroy Ives.

665
00:33:56,034 --> 00:33:57,452
Somebody ought to ream his ass.

666
00:33:57,577 --> 00:33:59,037
I'm going to ream his ass.

667
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:00,789
I'm gonna break
that Welbeck's back.

668
00:34:00,914 --> 00:34:02,624
I'll defrock
those two cannibals.

669
00:34:02,707 --> 00:34:04,668
They will never again
practice in this hospital.

670
00:34:04,751 --> 00:34:06,086
I'll tell you that.

671
00:34:06,294 --> 00:34:07,462
What'll I tell the girl, sir?

672
00:34:07,546 --> 00:34:08,797
She says we have no legal right

673
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,549
to stop her from
taking her father out.

674
00:34:10,632 --> 00:34:12,759
She's willing to
sign an A.O.R. form.

675
00:34:13,009 --> 00:34:14,469
Let him go...

676
00:34:15,554 --> 00:34:17,264
Before we kill him.

677
00:34:20,767 --> 00:34:21,810
Oh, uh, Herb.

678
00:34:21,893 --> 00:34:23,895
Get me Dr. Gilley.
I want to talk to him right now.

679
00:34:23,979 --> 00:34:25,313
Put him on page if you have to.

680
00:34:25,397 --> 00:34:26,648
I don't care if he's operating.

681
00:34:26,731 --> 00:34:28,567
And you get me some
monkey named Ives.

682
00:34:28,650 --> 00:34:30,777
Ives, I-V-E-S.
First name, Elroy.

683
00:34:31,152 --> 00:34:32,487
He's in the Farkis Pavilion.

684
00:34:32,571 --> 00:34:35,574
I want to talk to you, Joe.
Come in my office, please.

685
00:34:35,949 --> 00:34:39,160
You got some punk rotating
in your department, named Ives?

686
00:34:39,369 --> 00:34:42,122
Also, I want to ask you what kind
of dialysis room you're running.

687
00:34:43,582 --> 00:34:44,916
Excuse me.

688
00:34:45,542 --> 00:34:47,419
Yeah.
Gilley? Bock.

689
00:34:48,295 --> 00:34:50,505
Listen, didn't you tell me
a couple of months ago,

690
00:34:50,589 --> 00:34:53,800
you were gonna cut off all privileges
for that assassin, Welbeck?

691
00:34:53,925 --> 00:34:54,926
Welbeck, yes!

692
00:34:55,010 --> 00:34:57,429
He just butchered
another one of my patients!

693
00:34:57,679 --> 00:34:59,472
Oh, come on, Harry,
the man's a buccaneer.

694
00:34:59,556 --> 00:35:02,142
I want him brought up before the Medical
Executive Committee.

695
00:35:02,434 --> 00:35:04,477
Well, he's in your department,
Harry, not mine.

696
00:35:04,561 --> 00:35:06,605
He's putatively a surgeon!

697
00:35:07,230 --> 00:35:08,523
I'll be here.

698
00:35:09,107 --> 00:35:10,108
Listen, Joe,

699
00:35:10,191 --> 00:35:12,861
I think you should know you've got some
research guy named Ives

700
00:35:12,944 --> 00:35:15,530
in your department who's doing some
dubious biopsies.

701
00:35:15,614 --> 00:35:17,657
Now, we're having enough problems
squeezing grants

702
00:35:17,741 --> 00:35:19,075
out of the Nixon
Administration...

703
00:35:19,159 --> 00:35:21,119
Ives is dead, Herb.
That's why I'm here.

704
00:35:22,954 --> 00:35:24,247
What do you mean Ives is dead?

705
00:35:24,331 --> 00:35:25,332
I mean he's dead.

706
00:35:25,415 --> 00:35:28,293
He had a heart attack
in the Emergency Room.

707
00:35:28,627 --> 00:35:30,587
He had a heart attack
in the Emergency Room?

708
00:35:30,670 --> 00:35:31,796
Yeah.

709
00:35:32,297 --> 00:35:34,841
What in the hell is this, some kind
of plague? Where is he now?

710
00:35:34,924 --> 00:35:36,843
They were just taking him
down to Pathology.

711
00:35:37,469 --> 00:35:39,971
And the next thing anybody knew,
about three hours later,

712
00:35:40,055 --> 00:35:43,141
Mrs. Cushing came in and said there was
a dead man in the holding room.

713
00:35:43,224 --> 00:35:46,561
You don't find anything a little grotesque
about all this?

714
00:35:46,645 --> 00:35:48,271
What do you mean?

715
00:35:48,396 --> 00:35:50,023
I mean,
that at 8:30 this morning

716
00:35:50,106 --> 00:35:52,651
we meet over a doctor
who's killed intravenously,

717
00:35:52,734 --> 00:35:55,570
and now here we are again four hours later,
with another doctor

718
00:35:55,654 --> 00:35:58,156
who's died of a heart attack
in the Emergency Room.

719
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,075
Well, what are you
suggesting, Doctor?

720
00:36:00,158 --> 00:36:03,244
You think we have a mad killer stalking
the halls of the hospital?

721
00:36:03,328 --> 00:36:05,288
Presumably, Dr. Ives
died of a heart attack,

722
00:36:05,372 --> 00:36:07,082
and Schaefer in a diabetic coma.

723
00:36:07,165 --> 00:36:09,209
People do die of these things.

724
00:36:09,376 --> 00:36:10,669
It's all, perhaps coincidental,

725
00:36:10,752 --> 00:36:12,462
but I don't think
I'd call it grotesque.

726
00:36:12,545 --> 00:36:15,173
How long are they
gonna be on Schaefer's post?

727
00:36:22,764 --> 00:36:25,016
I don't suppose you'd like
to call next-of-kin?

728
00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:26,476
No, thanks.

729
00:36:27,852 --> 00:36:29,646
God, I need a drink.

730
00:37:14,774 --> 00:37:15,859
Mead.

731
00:37:33,752 --> 00:37:35,003
Mr. Mead?

732
00:37:37,130 --> 00:37:39,716
Mr. Mead,
I have an injection for you.

733
00:38:04,616 --> 00:38:06,701
What the hell is
going on in there?

734
00:38:06,785 --> 00:38:08,119
Shh.

735
00:38:53,331 --> 00:38:56,584
Well, honey, we got
a witch doctor in 806,

736
00:38:56,793 --> 00:38:58,586
and you better go in there.

737
00:38:58,795 --> 00:39:01,005
You know that Indian
that was sitting in 806 all night?

738
00:39:01,089 --> 00:39:02,465
He's still there.

739
00:39:02,549 --> 00:39:04,300
And the girl's there,

740
00:39:04,425 --> 00:39:06,469
and they're doing
some voodoo in there.

741
00:39:06,594 --> 00:39:08,096
And I ain't kiddin'!

742
00:39:08,596 --> 00:39:10,098
What're you talking about?

743
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,892
I mean, that Indian's in there,

744
00:39:12,976 --> 00:39:15,186
half-naked,
going psst, psst, psst.

745
00:39:15,270 --> 00:39:16,646
With a little bag.

746
00:39:16,813 --> 00:39:19,566
You just better get
in there, Mrs. Dunne.

747
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,208
You wanna see Somethin', baby?

748
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:38,751
You just come here.

749
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:43,590
Look, it's a perfectly
harmless ceremony.

750
00:39:43,673 --> 00:39:45,091
It's nothing to
get excited about.

751
00:39:45,174 --> 00:39:47,135
It'll be over in
a few minutes, anyway.

752
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:49,095
Mr. Blacktree is a shaman

753
00:39:49,178 --> 00:39:51,014
who gets his power
from the thunder,

754
00:39:51,097 --> 00:39:53,141
and it's imperative
he conclude his ritual

755
00:39:53,224 --> 00:39:55,143
while the storm
is still going on.

756
00:39:55,310 --> 00:39:57,937
Visiting hours
were over at 9:00, miss.

757
00:39:58,187 --> 00:39:59,856
All that's going on
in there, Doctor,

758
00:39:59,939 --> 00:40:01,065
is a simple Apache prayer

759
00:40:01,149 --> 00:40:03,151
for my father's recovery.

760
00:40:37,852 --> 00:40:41,147
The, uh, markings he's made
on my father's arms

761
00:40:41,230 --> 00:40:43,066
are from the pollen
of the tule plant.

762
00:40:43,149 --> 00:40:44,859
The twigs have no significance,

763
00:40:44,943 --> 00:40:46,778
other than they've been
struck by lightning

764
00:40:46,861 --> 00:40:49,781
and are consequently appeals
to the spirit of lightning.

765
00:40:49,864 --> 00:40:51,783
It's all entirely harmless,
Doctor.

766
00:40:51,866 --> 00:40:54,202
A religious ceremony,
not a medical one.

767
00:40:54,369 --> 00:40:55,453
You don't seriously believe

768
00:40:55,536 --> 00:40:58,164
all that mumbo-jumbo's
gonna cure him?

769
00:40:58,289 --> 00:41:00,875
On the other hand,
it won't kill him, Doctor.

770
00:41:01,125 --> 00:41:02,126
Ok. Go ahead.

771
00:41:02,210 --> 00:41:03,252
Thanks.

772
00:41:03,336 --> 00:41:05,230
You still gonna take your father out,
Miss Drummond?

773
00:41:05,254 --> 00:41:07,006
Yeah, I have to
arrange an ambulance.

774
00:41:07,090 --> 00:41:08,508
Is there a phone
here I could use?

775
00:41:08,591 --> 00:41:09,884
Use my office.

776
00:41:09,968 --> 00:41:11,302
Thank you.

777
00:43:00,661 --> 00:43:02,955
Hello, I'd like to
arrange an ambulance.

778
00:43:03,122 --> 00:43:05,249
Yeah, I'd like to arrange an ambulance
at 1:30,

779
00:43:05,333 --> 00:43:06,667
tomorrow afternoon.

780
00:43:06,834 --> 00:43:08,586
Drummond.
First name, Barbara.

781
00:43:08,669 --> 00:43:10,171
I'll pay cash.

782
00:43:11,339 --> 00:43:14,634
No, you're to pick up my father,
Drummond, Edward,

783
00:43:15,134 --> 00:43:17,095
at the Manhattan Medical Center,

784
00:43:17,178 --> 00:43:19,430
Holly Pavilion, Room 806.

785
00:43:20,515 --> 00:43:24,185
It's a stretcher case.
I presume you provide the stretcher.

786
00:43:24,602 --> 00:43:25,728
Yeah.

787
00:43:26,145 --> 00:43:29,107
Uh, no, he's to be taken to
American Airlines,

788
00:43:29,190 --> 00:43:30,233
Kennedy Airport,

789
00:43:30,358 --> 00:43:32,902
Flight 729 to Yuma, Arizona.

790
00:43:33,861 --> 00:43:36,364
I'll accompany the patient.
Yeah, thank you.

791
00:43:47,875 --> 00:43:50,211
You believe in witchcraft,
Miss Drummond?

792
00:43:50,419 --> 00:43:52,713
I believe in everything, Doctor.

793
00:43:55,258 --> 00:43:56,634
You like a drink?

794
00:43:56,717 --> 00:43:57,844
Yeah.

795
00:44:04,976 --> 00:44:06,435
My father, you should know,

796
00:44:06,519 --> 00:44:09,188
was a very successful
doctor in Boston.

797
00:44:09,856 --> 00:44:12,567
A member of the Harvard
Medical Faculty.

798
00:44:12,942 --> 00:44:15,153
He was a widower,
and I was his only child.

799
00:44:15,236 --> 00:44:17,155
He was not an especially
religious man,

800
00:44:17,238 --> 00:44:18,906
a sober Methodist.

801
00:44:19,031 --> 00:44:21,075
One evening, about seven years ago,
he attended

802
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,703
a Pentecostal meeting
in the commons rooms at Harvard

803
00:44:23,828 --> 00:44:25,913
and suddenly found himself
speaking in tongues.

804
00:44:26,038 --> 00:44:27,957
That is to say,
he sank to his knees

805
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,334
at the back of the room
and began to talk fluently

806
00:44:30,418 --> 00:44:32,920
in a language which no one
had ever heard before.

807
00:44:33,004 --> 00:44:36,007
This sort of thing happens frequently
at Pentecostal meetings,

808
00:44:36,090 --> 00:44:38,467
and began happening
regularly to my father.

809
00:44:38,593 --> 00:44:40,553
It was not unusual
to walk into our home

810
00:44:40,636 --> 00:44:42,555
and find my father
sitting in his office,

811
00:44:42,638 --> 00:44:44,098
utterly serene,

812
00:44:44,223 --> 00:44:45,683
happily speaking to the air

813
00:44:45,766 --> 00:44:47,935
in this strange, foreign tongue.

814
00:44:48,519 --> 00:44:50,855
I was, at that time,
20 years old

815
00:44:51,022 --> 00:44:53,524
having my obligatory affair
with a minority group.

816
00:44:53,608 --> 00:44:55,151
In my case, a Hopi Indian,

817
00:44:55,318 --> 00:44:57,361
a postgraduate fellow at Harvard

818
00:44:57,445 --> 00:45:00,907
doing his doctorate in aboriginal
languages of the Southwest.

819
00:45:01,032 --> 00:45:04,327
One day,
I brought the Indian boy home

820
00:45:04,452 --> 00:45:06,370
just as my father was
sinking to his knees

821
00:45:06,454 --> 00:45:09,040
in the entrance foyer
in one of his trances.

822
00:45:09,207 --> 00:45:10,708
The Indian wheeled
in his tracks,

823
00:45:10,791 --> 00:45:14,128
and he said,
"Well, I'll be a son of a bitch!"

824
00:45:14,879 --> 00:45:18,049
You see, my father
was speaking an Apache dialect,

825
00:45:18,299 --> 00:45:20,134
an obscure dialect, at that,

826
00:45:20,343 --> 00:45:23,804
spoken only by a ragged band
of unreconstructed Indians

827
00:45:23,930 --> 00:45:25,765
who had rejected
the reservation,

828
00:45:25,848 --> 00:45:27,725
and gone to live
in total isolation

829
00:45:27,808 --> 00:45:30,228
in the Sierra Madre Mountains
in Northern Mexico.

830
00:45:30,311 --> 00:45:32,063
Well, what do you
say to that, Dr. Bock?

831
00:45:33,564 --> 00:45:35,983
What the hell am I supposed to say
to that, Miss Drummond?

832
00:45:38,069 --> 00:45:40,780
I'm sitting here boozing,
and you come in and tell me

833
00:45:40,863 --> 00:45:44,033
some demented story about your father's
religious conversion.

834
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:45,660
Oh, no,
you miss the point, Doctor.

835
00:45:45,785 --> 00:45:48,162
Not my father's
conversion, mine.

836
00:45:48,246 --> 00:45:49,413
You see, I'd been

837
00:45:49,497 --> 00:45:52,041
hitting the acid pretty
regularly at that time.

838
00:45:52,166 --> 00:45:54,794
I had achieved a few
minor sensory deformities,

839
00:45:54,877 --> 00:45:56,545
some suicidal despairs,

840
00:45:56,671 --> 00:46:00,341
but nothing as wild
as fluency in an obscure Apache dialect.

841
00:46:00,508 --> 00:46:02,343
I mean, like, "Wow, man!"

842
00:46:02,510 --> 00:46:05,513
Here was living afflatus
right before my eyes!

843
00:46:05,763 --> 00:46:09,141
Within a week, my father had closed
his Beacon Hill practice

844
00:46:09,308 --> 00:46:11,978
and set out to start a mission
in the Mexican Mountains.

845
00:46:12,103 --> 00:46:14,480
I turned in my S.D.S. card
and my crash helmet,

846
00:46:14,563 --> 00:46:16,065
and I followed him.

847
00:46:16,274 --> 00:46:18,693
It was a disaster,
at least for me.

848
00:46:18,859 --> 00:46:21,779
My father had received
the revelation, not I.

849
00:46:22,071 --> 00:46:23,781
He stood gaunt
on a mountain slope

850
00:46:23,864 --> 00:46:25,116
and preached the Apocalypse

851
00:46:25,199 --> 00:46:27,201
to solemnly amused Indians.

852
00:46:27,326 --> 00:46:28,703
I masturbated a great deal.

853
00:46:28,786 --> 00:46:29,954
We lived in a grass wickiup,

854
00:46:30,037 --> 00:46:33,207
ate raw rabbit and crushed piñon nuts.
It was hideous.

855
00:46:33,791 --> 00:46:35,710
Within two months,
I was back in Boston.

856
00:46:35,793 --> 00:46:36,919
A hollow shell,

857
00:46:37,128 --> 00:46:40,464
disenchanted with everything,
and dizzy with dengue.

858
00:46:40,881 --> 00:46:42,717
I turned to austerity,

859
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:44,760
combed my hair tight,
entered nursing school.

860
00:46:44,969 --> 00:46:47,054
I became haggard, driven,

861
00:46:47,596 --> 00:46:50,891
had shamelessly incestuous
dreams about my father.

862
00:46:51,726 --> 00:46:53,978
I took up with some
of the senior staff at the hospital.

863
00:46:54,061 --> 00:46:56,480
One of them,
a portly psychiatrist,

864
00:46:56,564 --> 00:47:00,443
explained I was generated by an unresolved
lust, for my father.

865
00:47:01,235 --> 00:47:02,570
I cracked up.

866
00:47:02,695 --> 00:47:04,989
One day, they found me
walking to work naked,

867
00:47:05,072 --> 00:47:07,158
and screaming obscenities.

868
00:47:07,908 --> 00:47:09,910
There was talk of
institutionalizing me.

869
00:47:10,077 --> 00:47:12,204
So I packed a bag
and went back to

870
00:47:12,288 --> 00:47:14,832
join my father in
the Sierra Madre Mountains.

871
00:47:14,999 --> 00:47:17,835
I've been there ever since.
That's three years.

872
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:20,921
My father is, of course,
as mad as a hatter.

873
00:47:21,130 --> 00:47:24,383
I watch over him, and
have been curiously content.

874
00:47:26,218 --> 00:47:28,929
You see, Doctor,
I believe in everything.

875
00:47:31,265 --> 00:47:33,934
What was that all about,
Miss Drummond?

876
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:36,604
I thought I was obvious as hell.

877
00:47:36,937 --> 00:47:40,441
I'm trying to tell you,
I have a thing about middle-aged men.

878
00:47:40,608 --> 00:47:42,443
I admire your candor.

879
00:47:43,277 --> 00:47:46,113
You've been admiring
a lot more than that.

880
00:47:49,450 --> 00:47:51,452
You're wasting your time.

881
00:47:52,286 --> 00:47:54,455
I've been impotent for years.

882
00:47:55,748 --> 00:47:56,957
Rubbish.

883
00:47:57,792 --> 00:48:00,628
What the hell is
wrong with being impotent?

884
00:48:03,422 --> 00:48:06,592
Kids are more hung up on sex
than the victorians.

885
00:48:07,843 --> 00:48:09,428
I got a son, 23 years old.

886
00:48:09,512 --> 00:48:11,138
I threw him out
of the house last year.

887
00:48:11,222 --> 00:48:13,182
Pietistic little humbug.

888
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,978
He preached universal love,
and he despised everyone.

889
00:48:18,854 --> 00:48:20,981
Had a blanket contempt
for the middle class,

890
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:22,400
even its decencies.

891
00:48:22,983 --> 00:48:24,985
Detested my mother
because she had

892
00:48:25,361 --> 00:48:28,489
a petit bourgeois pride
in her son, the doctor.

893
00:48:30,032 --> 00:48:32,284
I cannot tell you how

894
00:48:32,493 --> 00:48:34,829
brutishly he ignored
that rather good lady.

895
00:48:36,914 --> 00:48:37,915
When she died,

896
00:48:37,998 --> 00:48:40,334
he didn't even come
to the funeral.

897
00:48:40,584 --> 00:48:43,838
He felt the, uh, chapel service
was an hypocrisy.

898
00:48:46,257 --> 00:48:48,717
He told me his generation
didn't live with lies.

899
00:48:48,843 --> 00:48:52,596
I said, "Listen,
everybody lives with lies."

900
00:48:56,225 --> 00:48:58,477
I grabbed him by his poncho,

901
00:48:59,645 --> 00:49:01,897
and I dragged him the length

902
00:49:02,398 --> 00:49:05,025
of our seven-room,
despicably affluent

903
00:49:05,109 --> 00:49:08,821
middle-class apartment,
and I flung him out.

904
00:49:14,368 --> 00:49:16,370
I haven't seen him since.

905
00:49:19,623 --> 00:49:21,792
You know what he said to me?

906
00:49:23,377 --> 00:49:24,962
He's standing there
on the landing,

907
00:49:25,045 --> 00:49:26,964
on the verge of tears.

908
00:49:28,382 --> 00:49:30,050
He shrieked at me:

909
00:49:32,344 --> 00:49:33,846
"You old fink.

910
00:49:36,182 --> 00:49:38,559
You can't even
get it up anymore."

911
00:49:41,145 --> 00:49:42,938
That was it, you see.

912
00:49:43,814 --> 00:49:45,941
That was his real revolution.

913
00:49:47,610 --> 00:49:49,236
It wasn't racism,

914
00:49:50,070 --> 00:49:53,073
the oppressed poor,
or the war in Vietnam.

915
00:49:56,243 --> 00:49:57,953
No, the ultimate

916
00:49:58,037 --> 00:50:00,372
American societal sickness

917
00:50:00,706 --> 00:50:02,666
was a limp dingus.

918
00:50:04,376 --> 00:50:05,586
My God.

919
00:50:08,797 --> 00:50:10,508
If there is a despised,

920
00:50:10,591 --> 00:50:12,968
misunderstood minority
in this country,

921
00:50:13,052 --> 00:50:15,054
it is us poor,
impotent bastards.

922
00:50:15,179 --> 00:50:17,473
Well, I'm impotent,
and I'm proud of it.

923
00:50:17,598 --> 00:50:20,267
Impotence is beautiful, baby!

924
00:50:21,310 --> 00:50:23,687
Power to the impotent!
Right on, baby!

925
00:50:23,771 --> 00:50:25,105
Right on!

926
00:50:27,358 --> 00:50:28,651
You know,

927
00:50:30,778 --> 00:50:32,530
When I say impotent,

928
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,282
I don't mean merely limp.

929
00:50:36,742 --> 00:50:38,911
Disagreeable as it
may be for a woman,

930
00:50:39,036 --> 00:50:41,455
a man may lust
for other things...

931
00:50:43,374 --> 00:50:46,669
Something a little less
transient than an erection.

932
00:50:47,044 --> 00:50:49,880
A sense of permanent worth.

933
00:50:49,964 --> 00:50:51,966
That's what medicine was to me,

934
00:50:52,091 --> 00:50:53,634
my reason for being.

935
00:50:53,717 --> 00:50:55,010
You know,

936
00:50:55,636 --> 00:50:57,179
Miss Drummond,

937
00:50:58,764 --> 00:51:00,266
When I was 34,

938
00:51:01,308 --> 00:51:03,060
I presented a paper

939
00:51:03,310 --> 00:51:04,770
before the annual convention

940
00:51:04,853 --> 00:51:06,897
of the Society
of Clinical Investigation

941
00:51:06,981 --> 00:51:09,733
that pioneered the whole goddamn field
of Immunology.

942
00:51:09,817 --> 00:51:11,318
A breakthrough.

943
00:51:11,485 --> 00:51:13,487
I'm in all the textbooks.

944
00:51:14,113 --> 00:51:17,032
I happen to be an eminent man,
Miss Drummond.

945
00:51:18,117 --> 00:51:20,703
You know something else,
Miss Drummond?

946
00:51:20,828 --> 00:51:22,746
I don't give a goddamn.

947
00:51:25,207 --> 00:51:27,001
When I say impotent,

948
00:51:29,086 --> 00:51:32,298
I mean I've lost
even my desire to work.

949
00:51:34,341 --> 00:51:37,678
That's a hell of a lot more
primal passion than sex.

950
00:51:38,762 --> 00:51:40,973
I've lost my reason for being.

951
00:51:41,390 --> 00:51:42,766
My purpose.

952
00:51:45,185 --> 00:51:47,605
The only thing
I ever truly loved.

953
00:51:51,984 --> 00:51:53,110
Well,

954
00:51:54,403 --> 00:51:56,530
it is all rubbish, isn't it?

955
00:51:58,449 --> 00:51:59,700
I mean,

956
00:52:00,367 --> 00:52:01,785
transplants,

957
00:52:02,661 --> 00:52:04,246
antibodies,

958
00:52:06,415 --> 00:52:08,334
we manufacture genes.

959
00:52:09,335 --> 00:52:11,920
We can produce
birth ectogenetically.

960
00:52:12,838 --> 00:52:15,883
We can practically
clone people like carrots,

961
00:52:16,842 --> 00:52:18,427
and half the kids in this ghetto

962
00:52:18,510 --> 00:52:21,180
haven't even been
inoculated for polio!

963
00:52:22,389 --> 00:52:26,477
We have established
the most enormous

964
00:52:28,562 --> 00:52:31,732
medical entity ever conceived,

965
00:52:31,899 --> 00:52:34,193
and people are sicker than ever!

966
00:52:35,569 --> 00:52:37,488
We cure nothing!

967
00:52:38,697 --> 00:52:40,908
We heal nothing!

968
00:52:43,911 --> 00:52:47,247
The whole goddamn
wretched world...

969
00:52:51,251 --> 00:52:53,879
Strangulating in
front of our eyes.

970
00:52:58,258 --> 00:53:00,928
That's what I mean
when I say impotent.

971
00:53:03,472 --> 00:53:06,266
You don't know what the hell
I'm talking about, do you?

972
00:53:06,433 --> 00:53:08,394
Of course I do.

973
00:53:09,603 --> 00:53:10,938
Ah, I'm tired.

974
00:53:11,063 --> 00:53:13,273
I'm very tired, Miss Drummond.

975
00:53:14,942 --> 00:53:16,276
And I hurt.

976
00:53:17,736 --> 00:53:19,571
And I've got nothing
going for me anymore.

977
00:53:19,655 --> 00:53:21,281
Can you understand that?

978
00:53:21,573 --> 00:53:23,117
Yes, of course.

979
00:53:23,909 --> 00:53:25,953
Can you also understand...

980
00:53:26,995 --> 00:53:29,998
That the only admissible
matter left is death?

981
00:53:33,168 --> 00:53:36,422
Sounds to me like a familiar case
of morbid menopause.

982
00:53:36,588 --> 00:53:37,965
Oh, Christ.

983
00:53:38,465 --> 00:53:41,093
It's hard for me to take your despair
very seriously, Doctor.

984
00:53:41,176 --> 00:53:42,761
You obviously enjoy it so much.

985
00:53:42,845 --> 00:53:44,430
Ah, bugger off!

986
00:53:45,806 --> 00:53:48,142
That's all I need now,
is clinical insight.

987
00:53:48,225 --> 00:53:51,061
Some cockamamie
25-year-old acidhead

988
00:53:51,145 --> 00:53:54,064
is gonna reassure me
about the menopause now!

989
00:53:57,443 --> 00:54:00,612
I'd... I'd like to be alone.
Why don't you just beat it?

990
00:54:02,364 --> 00:54:05,159
Close the door and turn off the lights
on your way out.

991
00:54:13,333 --> 00:54:16,128
Mr. Blacktree disapproves
of my miniskirt,

992
00:54:16,211 --> 00:54:19,256
but it was the only thing I had
to come to the city with.

993
00:54:20,090 --> 00:54:22,843
Back at the tribe,
I wear ankle-length buckskin.

994
00:54:23,177 --> 00:54:24,344
Swell.

995
00:54:25,596 --> 00:54:27,931
Close the door
and turn off the lights.

996
00:56:22,421 --> 00:56:24,214
What're you shooting, doc?

997
00:56:29,344 --> 00:56:30,888
Leave me alone.

998
00:56:38,228 --> 00:56:39,563
Potassium.

999
00:56:40,314 --> 00:56:43,317
You take enough of this stuff, doc,
it'll kill you.

1000
00:56:43,483 --> 00:56:45,485
It occurred to me I might
have read you wrong,

1001
00:56:45,569 --> 00:56:48,196
and that you really
were suicidal, so I came back.

1002
00:56:49,656 --> 00:56:51,158
Who asked you?

1003
00:56:57,664 --> 00:57:00,667
Leave me alone!
Why can't you leave me alone?

1004
00:57:05,714 --> 00:57:07,090
Leave me alone.

1005
00:57:10,260 --> 00:57:12,387
Why didn't you let me do it?

1006
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:48,590
Well, I'll see you.

1007
00:58:24,418 --> 00:58:26,586
Do you have a match, Doctor?

1008
00:58:54,364 --> 00:58:56,116
You wouldn't be awake?

1009
00:58:57,075 --> 00:58:58,160
What time is it?

1010
00:58:58,243 --> 00:58:59,536
Almost 7:00.

1011
00:59:00,328 --> 00:59:01,580
I, uh...

1012
00:59:02,539 --> 00:59:05,834
Swiped this for you out of
the nurses' locker room.

1013
00:59:06,043 --> 00:59:07,919
I'll make good on your dress.

1014
00:59:08,003 --> 00:59:09,796
I'm afraid it was
torn beyond repair.

1015
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:11,089
I'll buy you a new one,

1016
00:59:11,173 --> 00:59:13,842
or if you like, give me the size
and I'll send it on to you.

1017
00:59:14,259 --> 00:59:16,511
Uh, anyway, I wanna talk
to you about that.

1018
00:59:16,595 --> 00:59:18,138
Talk to me about what?

1019
00:59:18,764 --> 00:59:20,223
Your father.

1020
00:59:21,433 --> 00:59:24,311
You really shouldn't take him out of here
in his condition.

1021
00:59:24,394 --> 00:59:25,896
I've just been
looking at his chart.

1022
00:59:25,979 --> 00:59:28,106
There's no reason
to presume brain damage.

1023
00:59:28,190 --> 00:59:31,693
You know as well as I, you can't predict
anything in these instances, but, uh,

1024
00:59:31,777 --> 00:59:34,154
he could very well come out of that coma
at any time.

1025
00:59:34,237 --> 00:59:35,739
I think you
should leave him here.

1026
00:59:35,822 --> 00:59:37,407
I'll personally look after him.

1027
00:59:37,949 --> 00:59:39,326
Is this your way of saying

1028
00:59:39,409 --> 00:59:41,703
you'd like me to stay
in town a few more days?

1029
00:59:42,662 --> 00:59:44,623
Well, that would be nice, too.

1030
00:59:45,540 --> 00:59:47,667
What do you say, Miss Drummond?

1031
00:59:47,751 --> 00:59:49,628
I expect you can
call me Barbara,

1032
00:59:49,711 --> 00:59:52,380
considering you ravished me
three times last night.

1033
00:59:52,464 --> 00:59:53,465
Three times?

1034
00:59:53,548 --> 00:59:56,301
Uh-huh. Look at him
pretending he didn't count.

1035
00:59:56,510 --> 00:59:59,054
You were as puffed
up as a toad about it.

1036
00:59:59,137 --> 01:00:00,972
Punched a couple of
holes in your crusade

1037
01:00:01,056 --> 01:00:02,849
for universal impotence,
didn't it?

1038
01:00:02,933 --> 01:00:06,186
I think we're on first-name basis now.
I'll call you Herb.

1039
01:00:07,562 --> 01:00:10,232
Let's give your father a week, Barbara.
What do you say?

1040
01:00:10,315 --> 01:00:11,316
Well...

1041
01:00:11,942 --> 01:00:14,694
I don't want my father
in this hospital.

1042
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:17,781
I had a dream
about this hospital.

1043
01:00:18,115 --> 01:00:19,908
I dreamt this enormous

1044
01:00:19,991 --> 01:00:23,912
starched, white-tile building suddenly
erupted like a volcano...

1045
01:00:24,955 --> 01:00:28,291
And all the patients, doctors, nurses,
attendants, orderlies,

1046
01:00:28,375 --> 01:00:32,295
the whole line-staff, food-service people,
the aged, the lame,

1047
01:00:32,379 --> 01:00:34,631
and you, right in the middle, were...

1048
01:00:34,798 --> 01:00:38,593
Stampeding in one hideous, screaming,
suicidal mass into the sea.

1049
01:00:41,429 --> 01:00:44,975
I'm taking my father out of here,
and as quickly as I can.

1050
01:00:49,146 --> 01:00:51,648
You're really
a fruitcake, you know?

1051
01:00:51,773 --> 01:00:52,774
Well...

1052
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,819
Let me put it this way, Herb.

1053
01:00:55,902 --> 01:00:57,279
I love you.

1054
01:00:57,946 --> 01:01:00,240
I fancied you from
the first moment you came

1055
01:01:00,323 --> 01:01:02,576
lumbering down
that hallway, upstairs.

1056
01:01:03,535 --> 01:01:04,953
I said to
Mr. Blacktree,

1057
01:01:05,036 --> 01:01:07,289
"Who's that hulking bear
of a man?"

1058
01:01:08,832 --> 01:01:11,501
The Apaches are
reverential about bears.

1059
01:01:11,585 --> 01:01:14,171
Won't eat bear meat,
never skin bears.

1060
01:01:14,254 --> 01:01:16,965
Bears are thought
of as both benign and evil,

1061
01:01:17,048 --> 01:01:19,050
very strong power.

1062
01:01:19,176 --> 01:01:21,219
Men with bear power
are highly respected.

1063
01:01:21,303 --> 01:01:23,513
Frequently said
to be great healers.

1064
01:01:23,763 --> 01:01:27,058
"That man," I said,
"gets his power from the bear."

1065
01:01:27,934 --> 01:01:30,020
Swell. Now, look.

1066
01:01:31,188 --> 01:01:32,647
You haven't got a hotel room

1067
01:01:32,731 --> 01:01:34,900
or some sort of accommodations
where you can stay...

1068
01:01:34,983 --> 01:01:37,235
All right, let me
put it this way, Herb.

1069
01:01:38,069 --> 01:01:40,697
My father and I accept
the implacability of death.

1070
01:01:40,780 --> 01:01:42,532
If he dies, he dies.

1071
01:01:43,408 --> 01:01:45,535
I'm getting him out of here
and back to Mexico

1072
01:01:45,619 --> 01:01:47,579
at 1:00, this afternoon.

1073
01:01:47,746 --> 01:01:49,789
I want you to come with us,
because

1074
01:01:49,956 --> 01:01:51,791
I love you and want children.

1075
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:58,048
I'm afraid Mexico
is a little too remote for me.

1076
01:01:58,465 --> 01:02:00,759
Oh, we could really use you
down there, you know.

1077
01:02:00,842 --> 01:02:03,220
There's a curiously
high incidence of T.B.

1078
01:02:03,553 --> 01:02:05,513
You'd be a doctor again, Herb.

1079
01:02:05,889 --> 01:02:07,891
You'd be necessary again.

1080
01:02:08,516 --> 01:02:11,144
If you love me,
I don't see what other choice you have.

1081
01:02:11,228 --> 01:02:12,854
What do you mean, if I love you?

1082
01:02:12,938 --> 01:02:14,564
I raped you in a suicidal rage.

1083
01:02:14,648 --> 01:02:16,816
How did we get to love and children
all of a sudden?

1084
01:02:16,900 --> 01:02:19,236
Heaven's sake, I ought to know
if a man loves me or not.

1085
01:02:19,319 --> 01:02:22,489
I mean, you must've told me
half a 100 times last night you loved me.

1086
01:02:22,572 --> 01:02:24,032
You murmured it, shouted it.

1087
01:02:24,115 --> 01:02:27,619
One time, you opened the window
and bellowed it out into the street.

1088
01:02:27,702 --> 01:02:30,497
Well, I think those were
more expressions of gratitude than love.

1089
01:02:30,580 --> 01:02:31,998
Gratitude for what?

1090
01:02:32,082 --> 01:02:35,502
Oh, my God, for resurrecting
feelings of life in me I thought dead.

1091
01:02:35,585 --> 01:02:37,420
Oh, my God,
what do you think love is?

1092
01:02:37,504 --> 01:02:40,382
All right, I love you!
You love me!

1093
01:02:42,092 --> 01:02:45,428
I'm not about to argue
with so relentless a romantic.

1094
01:02:46,846 --> 01:02:50,225
Since we have this
great passion going for us,

1095
01:02:50,684 --> 01:02:51,935
I don't see why you don't

1096
01:02:52,018 --> 01:02:54,145
stay around New York
for a week or 10 days?

1097
01:02:54,271 --> 01:02:55,772
It's up to 10 days now.

1098
01:02:55,855 --> 01:02:58,358
Just as long as it takes your
father's condition to improve.

1099
01:02:58,441 --> 01:02:59,734
No.

1100
01:02:59,818 --> 01:03:02,570
I've had these
prophetic dreams for seven nights.

1101
01:03:02,654 --> 01:03:04,531
Seven is a sinister number.

1102
01:03:04,614 --> 01:03:07,075
The meaning of
these dreams is very clear,

1103
01:03:07,158 --> 01:03:08,994
Seven times as clear.

1104
01:03:09,077 --> 01:03:11,371
I'm to get you
and my father out of here

1105
01:03:11,454 --> 01:03:13,206
before we're all destroyed.

1106
01:03:13,873 --> 01:03:15,625
You're certifiable.

1107
01:03:15,750 --> 01:03:18,461
Half the time, you're a perfectly
intelligent young woman.

1108
01:03:18,545 --> 01:03:21,381
Then all of a sudden, you turn into
some kind of goddamn Cabalist

1109
01:03:21,464 --> 01:03:24,551
who believes in dreams
and witchcraft and bear power.

1110
01:03:24,634 --> 01:03:27,762
I don't like the way you dismiss my whole
life as unnecessary, you know.

1111
01:03:27,846 --> 01:03:29,723
I do a lot of healing right here
in Manhattan.

1112
01:03:29,806 --> 01:03:31,433
I don't have to go
to Mexico to do it.

1113
01:03:31,516 --> 01:03:33,226
I also teach.

1114
01:03:33,310 --> 01:03:36,354
I send out 80 doctors
a year into the world,

1115
01:03:36,521 --> 01:03:39,149
often inspirited,
at least competent.

1116
01:03:39,649 --> 01:03:42,861
I've built up one of the best damn
departments of medicine in the world.

1117
01:03:42,944 --> 01:03:44,821
We have a hell of a heart unit,

1118
01:03:44,946 --> 01:03:46,781
we have a hell
of a kidney group.

1119
01:03:46,865 --> 01:03:48,867
You know, a lot of people
come into this place

1120
01:03:48,950 --> 01:03:50,160
in big trouble, Miss Drummond.

1121
01:03:50,243 --> 01:03:52,162
They go out a lot better
for the experience,

1122
01:03:52,245 --> 01:03:53,830
so don't tell me
how unnecessary I am.

1123
01:03:53,913 --> 01:03:54,914
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

1124
01:03:54,998 --> 01:03:57,417
So how come eight hours ago,
you were trying to kill yourself

1125
01:03:57,500 --> 01:03:59,336
with an overdose of potassium?

1126
01:03:59,419 --> 01:04:00,503
Where are you going now?

1127
01:04:00,587 --> 01:04:02,380
My hotel.
I have to check out.

1128
01:04:02,464 --> 01:04:04,924
Mr. Blacktree
doesn't speak any English.

1129
01:04:05,008 --> 01:04:06,676
Well, you're coming back,
of course?

1130
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:10,013
Of course. I have to settle the bill,
pack my father.

1131
01:04:10,847 --> 01:04:14,351
I think you need a few hours
alone to make your decisions.

1132
01:04:14,434 --> 01:04:15,977
What decision?

1133
01:04:16,186 --> 01:04:18,688
You're a very tired,
very damaged man.

1134
01:04:18,772 --> 01:04:20,190
You've had a hideous marriage,

1135
01:04:20,273 --> 01:04:22,442
I assume a few tacky affairs
along the way.

1136
01:04:22,525 --> 01:04:23,943
You're understandably reluctant

1137
01:04:24,027 --> 01:04:25,362
to get involved again.

1138
01:04:25,695 --> 01:04:28,323
On top of that, here I am
with this preposterous idea

1139
01:04:28,406 --> 01:04:30,325
you throw everything up
and go off with me

1140
01:04:30,408 --> 01:04:32,494
to some barren mountains
in Mexico.

1141
01:04:33,036 --> 01:04:34,829
Utterly mad, I know.

1142
01:04:35,163 --> 01:04:36,498
On the other hand,

1143
01:04:37,207 --> 01:04:39,542
you obviously find this world
as desolate as I do.

1144
01:04:39,626 --> 01:04:41,961
You did try to kill yourself
last night.

1145
01:04:42,545 --> 01:04:44,047
So that's it, Herb.

1146
01:04:44,464 --> 01:04:48,009
Either me and the mountains,
or the bottle of potassium.

1147
01:04:49,052 --> 01:04:52,764
I'll be back in an hour or so.
I'll be in my father's room.

1148
01:05:21,376 --> 01:05:23,169
All right, I love you!

1149
01:05:24,754 --> 01:05:25,964
My God!

1150
01:05:31,636 --> 01:05:35,515
<i>I repeat, I'm asking you
to come out peacefully.</i>

1151
01:05:36,891 --> 01:05:40,645
<i>These buildings are condemned
and unfit for habitation.</i>

1152
01:05:41,479 --> 01:05:44,941
<i>You people are possessing
this building illegally</i>

1153
01:05:45,650 --> 01:05:47,777
<i>and in violation of the law.</i>

1154
01:05:48,278 --> 01:05:50,780
<i>I'm asking you
to come out peacefully.</i>

1155
01:05:52,073 --> 01:05:54,701
So the hospital has assumed
the responsibility

1156
01:05:54,784 --> 01:05:58,329
for finding 400 housing units
in good buildings.

1157
01:05:58,830 --> 01:06:01,207
The hospital wishes to point out

1158
01:06:01,291 --> 01:06:03,877
that this particular row
of buildings on First Avenue

1159
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:05,420
was condemned by the city

1160
01:06:05,503 --> 01:06:07,881
before the hospital
acquired ownership

1161
01:06:07,964 --> 01:06:10,508
and even then, only after

1162
01:06:10,925 --> 01:06:13,678
responsible leaders
in the community

1163
01:06:13,845 --> 01:06:15,138
approved the building

1164
01:06:15,221 --> 01:06:17,307
of our new
drug-rehabilitation center.

1165
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,058
Now, Goddamn it, Barry,

1166
01:06:19,142 --> 01:06:21,936
I've got a dozen community leaders
waiting for me in the library.

1167
01:06:22,020 --> 01:06:23,396
Now, we're trying to work out

1168
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,899
some kind of negotiable
formula for two years,

1169
01:06:25,982 --> 01:06:27,692
with no help from you people

1170
01:06:27,775 --> 01:06:29,903
in the urban affairs division,
I might add.

1171
01:06:29,986 --> 01:06:31,112
No, that...

1172
01:06:31,779 --> 01:06:34,824
No, no, I am not going to throw
all that down the drain

1173
01:06:34,908 --> 01:06:37,243
because some cockamamie
activist group

1174
01:06:37,327 --> 01:06:40,121
is showboating for
the television cameras.

1175
01:06:40,788 --> 01:06:42,999
Now, you get those people
out of those buildings

1176
01:06:43,082 --> 01:06:46,002
before a wall collapses
or a fire breaks out

1177
01:06:46,252 --> 01:06:48,671
and we've got a riot
on our hands.

1178
01:06:49,672 --> 01:06:50,715
Ok.

1179
01:06:54,969 --> 01:06:56,638
Having your troubles, eh?

1180
01:06:56,888 --> 01:06:58,681
Well, I won't take
much of your time.

1181
01:06:58,765 --> 01:07:00,141
My name is Welbeck.

1182
01:07:00,433 --> 01:07:03,603
I've been associated
with this hospital for six years

1183
01:07:03,686 --> 01:07:06,523
and yesterday afternoon,
Dr. Gilley called me

1184
01:07:06,606 --> 01:07:09,442
to tell me he was cutting off
my privileges with the hospital.

1185
01:07:09,526 --> 01:07:11,152
Do you know anything about that?

1186
01:07:11,236 --> 01:07:12,695
That's news to me.

1187
01:07:12,779 --> 01:07:14,364
He said he sent the report on.

1188
01:07:14,447 --> 01:07:16,574
Well, I'll probably get
the report tomorrow.

1189
01:07:16,658 --> 01:07:17,784
I assume...

1190
01:07:17,867 --> 01:07:19,661
A report about what?

1191
01:07:20,036 --> 01:07:22,372
I'm not sure myself.

1192
01:07:23,289 --> 01:07:26,042
I did a nephrectomy
on a man about seven days ago.

1193
01:07:26,125 --> 01:07:28,253
Emergency called in at 4:00
in the morning

1194
01:07:28,336 --> 01:07:30,296
and the man was hemorrhaging.
He'd gone sour.

1195
01:07:30,380 --> 01:07:33,299
Well, look, I'm really sorry, Welbeck.
I do have a meeting to go to.

1196
01:07:33,383 --> 01:07:35,635
And in any event,
there's nothing I can do about it.

1197
01:07:35,718 --> 01:07:37,053
If Gilley, uh, oh...

1198
01:07:37,136 --> 01:07:38,471
I'll be in the library.

1199
01:07:38,555 --> 01:07:41,015
If Gilley wants to
cut your privileges,

1200
01:07:41,266 --> 01:07:43,935
he's Chief of Surgery,
it's within his province.

1201
01:07:44,018 --> 01:07:45,687
You'll have to have the hearing.

1202
01:07:45,770 --> 01:07:47,814
Well, I have a laparotomy
laid on for this morning.

1203
01:07:47,897 --> 01:07:49,983
I assume I'll be able
to go through with that.

1204
01:07:50,066 --> 01:07:52,819
I've been connected
with this hospital for six years.

1205
01:07:52,902 --> 01:07:56,322
Yeah, now, now, well, it seems to me
I've had your name down here before

1206
01:07:56,406 --> 01:07:58,116
for something. Welbeck,

1207
01:07:58,575 --> 01:08:00,076
wait a minute.

1208
01:08:00,201 --> 01:08:02,287
You're the fellow
with the, uh...

1209
01:08:02,620 --> 01:08:05,456
You're the fellow with the
Medicaid collecting business

1210
01:08:05,540 --> 01:08:07,917
who incorporated
and went public, right?

1211
01:08:08,001 --> 01:08:09,377
I mean, something like that?

1212
01:08:09,460 --> 01:08:11,629
Yeah, Milton Mead
was telling me about you.

1213
01:08:11,713 --> 01:08:13,756
Why, you're a whole
medical conglomerate.

1214
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:15,675
You've got a factoring service,

1215
01:08:15,758 --> 01:08:17,510
a computerized billing company,

1216
01:08:17,594 --> 01:08:20,763
a few proprietary hospitals,
a few nursing homes.

1217
01:08:20,930 --> 01:08:23,391
Good heavens, Welbeck,
you shouldn't be brought up

1218
01:08:23,474 --> 01:08:25,268
before a committee
of mere doctors.

1219
01:08:25,351 --> 01:08:28,438
You ought to be investigated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

1220
01:08:28,521 --> 01:08:30,356
You'll have to go through
with the hearing.

1221
01:08:30,440 --> 01:08:32,275
I... I can't do anything
about that.

1222
01:08:34,694 --> 01:08:36,529
...imperializing
the Black community.

1223
01:08:36,613 --> 01:08:38,031
We reject the bourgeois,

1224
01:08:38,114 --> 01:08:40,283
middle-class Black traitors
and flunkies

1225
01:08:40,366 --> 01:08:42,660
who are selling out
the Black proletarian masses

1226
01:08:42,744 --> 01:08:44,537
to the expansionist,
racist policies...

1227
01:08:44,621 --> 01:08:46,873
Let's get back
to the abortion issue.

1228
01:08:46,956 --> 01:08:49,292
What the hell does
the male establishment

1229
01:08:49,375 --> 01:08:50,960
know about abortion?

1230
01:08:51,044 --> 01:08:53,796
Who the hell raised
the issue of birth control?

1231
01:08:54,088 --> 01:08:56,841
The issue at hand is
the control of drug addiction

1232
01:08:56,924 --> 01:08:59,385
in this community
and in the ghetto, personally.

1233
01:08:59,469 --> 01:09:01,679
We don't want no
goddamn abortion.

1234
01:09:01,763 --> 01:09:03,931
Let's get to the core
of this matter.

1235
01:09:04,098 --> 01:09:06,726
The point is that this hospital

1236
01:09:06,809 --> 01:09:08,853
is the landlord
for those buildings

1237
01:09:08,936 --> 01:09:10,730
and instead of tearing them down

1238
01:09:10,813 --> 01:09:13,024
and building some
imperialistic extensions

1239
01:09:13,107 --> 01:09:14,567
of the medical establishment,

1240
01:09:14,651 --> 01:09:17,320
this hospital ought to be
rebuilding those tenements!

1241
01:09:17,403 --> 01:09:18,738
Give those people
decent housing!

1242
01:09:18,821 --> 01:09:19,822
Please, please, please!

1243
01:09:23,618 --> 01:09:26,829
You know, I... I hallucinated
last night.

1244
01:09:28,539 --> 01:09:31,084
I hallucinated
there was an Indian

1245
01:09:31,167 --> 01:09:33,169
doing a war dance in here.

1246
01:09:34,003 --> 01:09:36,506
You weren't hallucinating,
Mr. Mead.

1247
01:09:36,673 --> 01:09:38,591
There was an Indian
in here last night.

1248
01:09:38,675 --> 01:09:40,009
There was?

1249
01:09:40,885 --> 01:09:43,137
Ok. Down to the
Operating Room.

1250
01:09:45,848 --> 01:09:47,433
<i>Dr. Rickie.</i>

1251
01:09:47,517 --> 01:09:48,768
<i>Dr. Rickie.</i>

1252
01:09:48,851 --> 01:09:50,645
<i>Dr. Lionel Rickie.</i>

1253
01:09:54,816 --> 01:09:56,734
Dr. Norris said
about half an hour.

1254
01:09:56,818 --> 01:09:58,194
Ok. That's fine.

1255
01:09:58,277 --> 01:09:59,779
Half an hour.

1256
01:09:59,862 --> 01:10:01,364
Hold him right there.

1257
01:10:01,447 --> 01:10:02,573
Miss Shirley,

1258
01:10:02,657 --> 01:10:04,867
it's just
an ovarian cyst, honey.

1259
01:10:05,201 --> 01:10:08,246
Ok, Jerry, go up to Holly 6.

1260
01:10:08,830 --> 01:10:11,416
On the double. Holly 6. Go.

1261
01:10:12,417 --> 01:10:15,211
Who is that?
Is that Mangafranni?

1262
01:10:15,795 --> 01:10:17,505
Yeah. Number 3, Marty.

1263
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:20,633
Good morning, Doctor.

1264
01:10:25,096 --> 01:10:28,057
It's legal for a doctor to incorporate
in New York, isn't it, Doctor?

1265
01:10:28,141 --> 01:10:29,434
Since last September.

1266
01:10:29,517 --> 01:10:31,144
If they'd had that
when I was your age,

1267
01:10:31,227 --> 01:10:33,229
I'd have put away
a couple of million by now.

1268
01:10:33,312 --> 01:10:35,732
It gives you a variety
of deferral devices.

1269
01:10:35,815 --> 01:10:37,900
Profit sharing, for example.

1270
01:10:38,151 --> 01:10:41,237
Let's say you pick yourself
an October 31 fiscal.

1271
01:10:41,738 --> 01:10:44,157
You declare a bonus
payable in '71.

1272
01:10:44,991 --> 01:10:46,325
An accrued item payable

1273
01:10:46,409 --> 01:10:48,578
to a principal shareholder
must be paid

1274
01:10:48,661 --> 01:10:50,997
within two and a half months
after the close of the year

1275
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,040
to get the deduction
in the prior year.

1276
01:10:53,124 --> 01:10:55,793
But your corporation
doesn't pay that tax,

1277
01:10:55,877 --> 01:10:59,505
because we've eliminated
the taxable income with the bonus.

1278
01:10:59,589 --> 01:11:01,007
With two taxable entities,

1279
01:11:01,090 --> 01:11:02,842
you can bury a hell
of a lot of expenses.

1280
01:11:02,925 --> 01:11:05,261
Hello, this is Welbeck.
Any messages for me?

1281
01:11:06,345 --> 01:11:07,805
Well, I'm at the hospital.

1282
01:11:07,889 --> 01:11:09,974
I gotta cut open some guy
in a couple of minutes.

1283
01:11:10,057 --> 01:11:12,018
I'll try to make it
as fast as I can.

1284
01:11:12,101 --> 01:11:14,270
How urgent did he say it was?

1285
01:11:15,438 --> 01:11:18,691
Doctor Hogan made those arrangements
with the underwriters.

1286
01:11:18,775 --> 01:11:21,152
The registration statement
was filed with the S.E.C.

1287
01:11:21,235 --> 01:11:22,612
Well over a year ago.

1288
01:11:23,988 --> 01:11:26,115
Well, if he calls again,
have me paged here.

1289
01:11:35,750 --> 01:11:36,918
Mangafranni, right?

1290
01:11:37,001 --> 01:11:38,169
Right.

1291
01:11:38,377 --> 01:11:39,587
What do you say, huh?

1292
01:11:39,670 --> 01:11:42,131
We're not gonna hang it
in the Louvre, you know.

1293
01:11:42,715 --> 01:11:44,467
There's no pulse, Doctor.

1294
01:11:44,550 --> 01:11:45,760
What's the pressure?

1295
01:11:45,843 --> 01:11:47,595
There's no blood pressure,
Doctor.

1296
01:11:47,678 --> 01:11:49,972
No pulse.
Get the tube and E.K.G.

1297
01:11:55,812 --> 01:11:57,063
What's the matter?

1298
01:11:57,146 --> 01:11:58,648
I can't feel a thing here.

1299
01:11:58,731 --> 01:11:59,941
What the hell happened?

1300
01:12:00,024 --> 01:12:01,624
- What the hell happened?
- I don't know.

1301
01:12:04,821 --> 01:12:06,906
I don't know, she must have
thrown an embolus.

1302
01:12:06,989 --> 01:12:08,908
She was doing fine up to now.

1303
01:12:09,742 --> 01:12:10,952
Did you check the gases?

1304
01:12:11,327 --> 01:12:12,495
I did, Doctor.

1305
01:12:12,995 --> 01:12:15,373
'Cause the only time I saw
anyone conk out like this,

1306
01:12:15,456 --> 01:12:18,459
some jerk switched the nitrous oxide
and the gas lines.

1307
01:12:18,543 --> 01:12:20,336
Get the damn leads on.

1308
01:12:20,419 --> 01:12:23,089
For Christ's sake,
what the hell is this?

1309
01:12:23,172 --> 01:12:26,092
She's just a young woman, sir.
Do you think we should open the chest?

1310
01:12:26,175 --> 01:12:28,177
She's 53, you button-head.

1311
01:12:28,261 --> 01:12:29,720
Bicarb.

1312
01:12:33,432 --> 01:12:35,977
Jesus H. Christ!

1313
01:12:39,188 --> 01:12:41,065
Ok, stop for a minute.

1314
01:12:42,233 --> 01:12:43,651
V-fib, Doctor.

1315
01:12:43,776 --> 01:12:45,194
Get me the paddles.

1316
01:12:51,993 --> 01:12:53,286
I may be crazy, Doctor,

1317
01:12:53,369 --> 01:12:55,496
but I don't think
this is your patient.

1318
01:12:57,874 --> 01:13:00,376
What the hell
are you talking about?

1319
01:13:09,343 --> 01:13:12,054
I don't want to get into an intestine
hassle, Mrs. Christie.

1320
01:13:12,138 --> 01:13:13,973
The malpractice here
is monumental.

1321
01:13:14,056 --> 01:13:17,184
As you can see, Dr. Schaefer's
blood sugar was 23.

1322
01:13:17,268 --> 01:13:19,186
Now, no glucose solution
is going to do that.

1323
01:13:19,270 --> 01:13:20,980
The only thing
that possibly could do it

1324
01:13:21,063 --> 01:13:23,691
is at least 50 units
of insulin, probably more.

1325
01:13:23,774 --> 01:13:26,152
Our only presumption is one
of the two nurses on that floor

1326
01:13:26,235 --> 01:13:28,696
shot 50 units of insulin
into Schaefer's bloodstream.

1327
01:13:28,779 --> 01:13:30,281
Either by injection or I.V.,

1328
01:13:30,364 --> 01:13:31,490
although how in God's name,

1329
01:13:31,574 --> 01:13:33,159
A thing like that...

1330
01:13:33,242 --> 01:13:35,161
I'm very sorry, Doctor.
May I use your phone?

1331
01:13:35,244 --> 01:13:36,412
Certainly.

1332
01:13:38,372 --> 01:13:39,415
Yes.

1333
01:13:39,498 --> 01:13:41,709
Doctor, did you ask the
head nurse from 8th floor

1334
01:13:41,792 --> 01:13:43,592
to let you know when
a Miss Drummond got here?

1335
01:13:43,628 --> 01:13:44,670
Yes.

1336
01:13:44,754 --> 01:13:45,755
Well, she just got there.

1337
01:13:45,838 --> 01:13:47,715
I better get down there directly.

1338
01:13:47,798 --> 01:13:49,258
Have you called
the O.O.D.?

1339
01:13:49,425 --> 01:13:51,010
Oh, you better call
Dr. Gilley.

1340
01:13:51,093 --> 01:13:52,720
And you better call
Mr. Sloan.

1341
01:13:53,429 --> 01:13:55,139
Yes, I-I'll be right down.

1342
01:13:55,932 --> 01:13:57,308
I'm very sorry, Doctor.

1343
01:13:57,391 --> 01:13:59,518
There's a very nasty one
in the O.R.

1344
01:13:59,602 --> 01:14:02,438
They've just operated
on the wrong patient.

1345
01:14:06,442 --> 01:14:09,111
Well, I don't understand.
Is she back in her room?

1346
01:14:09,195 --> 01:14:11,030
When did she get
back in her room?

1347
01:14:11,113 --> 01:14:12,657
Who brought her back?

1348
01:14:12,907 --> 01:14:14,200
She's back in her room.

1349
01:14:14,283 --> 01:14:15,284
Who?

1350
01:14:15,368 --> 01:14:16,410
Mrs. Mangafranni,

1351
01:14:16,494 --> 01:14:18,746
the woman who was supposed
to have been operated on.

1352
01:14:18,829 --> 01:14:21,207
Hey, are they still
working on that woman in 3?

1353
01:14:21,290 --> 01:14:22,333
Yeah.

1354
01:14:22,416 --> 01:14:25,086
I'm sorry, Mrs. Fried,
could you say that again?

1355
01:14:26,045 --> 01:14:28,297
Well, nobody in this office
sent her back up.

1356
01:14:28,381 --> 01:14:29,966
<i>Dr. Donovan.</i>

1357
01:14:30,049 --> 01:14:33,135
All right, Mrs. Fried.
I'll have to call you back.

1358
01:14:35,262 --> 01:14:38,474
Did any of you take
a woman patient named Mangafranni

1359
01:14:38,557 --> 01:14:41,852
out of the holding room,
back up to Holly 5, around 10:00?

1360
01:14:42,311 --> 01:14:43,437
What happened?

1361
01:14:43,521 --> 01:14:45,106
I don't know what happened.

1362
01:14:45,189 --> 01:14:47,108
A patient named Mangafranni

1363
01:14:47,191 --> 01:14:48,901
was scheduled to have
a hysterectomy

1364
01:14:48,985 --> 01:14:50,820
at 10:00., Dr. Mallory.

1365
01:14:50,903 --> 01:14:53,030
I talked to Sylvia,
in the holding room,

1366
01:14:53,155 --> 01:14:55,324
who admitted her,
so she was here.

1367
01:14:55,408 --> 01:14:59,161
And now I just spoke to, uh,
Mrs. Fried on Holly 5

1368
01:14:59,495 --> 01:15:01,998
and she says an orderly
brought Mrs. Mangafranni

1369
01:15:02,081 --> 01:15:04,417
back to her room
about 20 minutes ago.

1370
01:15:04,917 --> 01:15:07,420
And now Mrs. Mangafranni
is in her room, sleeping.

1371
01:15:07,503 --> 01:15:09,463
Well, who's the woman
in the Operating Room?

1372
01:15:09,547 --> 01:15:10,589
I don't know.

1373
01:15:10,673 --> 01:15:11,757
Is she dead?

1374
01:15:11,841 --> 01:15:14,802
Well, they had to open her up,
and that's not good.

1375
01:15:18,514 --> 01:15:20,349
I better get
Mr. Mead.

1376
01:15:20,641 --> 01:15:23,894
Now, we can rectify
the injustices

1377
01:15:23,978 --> 01:15:26,647
of the world tomorrow,
but right now,

1378
01:15:26,731 --> 01:15:30,276
could we get those people
out of those buildings?

1379
01:15:30,860 --> 01:15:34,196
Will you please listen to me?
Will you shut up?

1380
01:15:35,531 --> 01:15:38,367
Will you please shut up
and listen to me?

1381
01:15:38,534 --> 01:15:40,536
Now let's call a halt to this

1382
01:15:40,619 --> 01:15:43,289
participatory democracy

1383
01:15:43,372 --> 01:15:46,208
and address ourselves
to the immediate problem!

1384
01:15:46,292 --> 01:15:47,501
How long ago did this happen?

1385
01:15:47,585 --> 01:15:48,627
About half an hour.

1386
01:15:48,711 --> 01:15:50,272
- Called the Medical Examiner?
- Not yet.

1387
01:15:50,296 --> 01:15:53,716
You'd better do that now. You better call
the precinct station house as well.

1388
01:15:54,216 --> 01:15:56,177
Jesus. H.

1389
01:15:56,677 --> 01:15:57,803
Good morning.

1390
01:15:57,887 --> 01:15:59,055
Good morning, Doctor.

1391
01:15:59,138 --> 01:16:00,890
Well, this is really
something, isn't it?

1392
01:16:00,973 --> 01:16:03,642
I thought she looked a little different
when they brought her in.

1393
01:16:03,726 --> 01:16:05,144
I said to one of the nurses,

1394
01:16:05,227 --> 01:16:07,229
"She looks younger
without her dentures."

1395
01:16:07,313 --> 01:16:09,440
I had only talked to her
half an hour before.

1396
01:16:09,523 --> 01:16:12,276
Does anyone know who she is?
What's her chart say?

1397
01:16:12,359 --> 01:16:13,986
Her chart says "Mangafranni",

1398
01:16:14,070 --> 01:16:16,030
her bracelet says
"Mangafranni."

1399
01:16:16,322 --> 01:16:19,575
The only thing that isn't
Mangafranni is the woman.

1400
01:16:19,742 --> 01:16:22,244
Jesus H. Christ!

1401
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:27,291
I've been chopping out
three uteruses a day for 30 years,

1402
01:16:27,374 --> 01:16:29,877
and is it too much to expect
for you people to bring in

1403
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:33,339
the right goddamn
Jesus Christ uterus?

1404
01:16:34,090 --> 01:16:36,342
I had just been talking to her
in the holding room.

1405
01:16:36,425 --> 01:16:38,928
She was perfectly fine.
A little drowsy.

1406
01:16:39,011 --> 01:16:41,222
I thought it was funny
that when they brought her in,

1407
01:16:41,305 --> 01:16:42,973
she was out cold.

1408
01:16:43,099 --> 01:16:45,142
Jesus. H. Christ.

1409
01:16:45,434 --> 01:16:47,686
Well, we're just gonna have
to stay here till Mr. Mead

1410
01:16:47,770 --> 01:16:49,980
or someone from
the O.O.D. Comes back.

1411
01:16:50,064 --> 01:16:52,233
Yeah, well, I'm not taking
the rap for this.

1412
01:16:52,316 --> 01:16:54,401
I've already got one
malpractice suit pending

1413
01:16:54,485 --> 01:16:56,362
and I'm not taking
the rap for this one.

1414
01:17:02,284 --> 01:17:04,036
You're not leaving.

1415
01:17:05,037 --> 01:17:07,790
I love you, and I'm not
gonna let you go.

1416
01:17:07,915 --> 01:17:10,543
Come on, now, let's start
putting your father's things back.

1417
01:17:10,626 --> 01:17:12,336
He's staying here.

1418
01:17:12,586 --> 01:17:14,213
I'll find you
an apartment somewhere.

1419
01:17:14,296 --> 01:17:16,423
I'm staying in
a filthy little hotel room,

1420
01:17:16,507 --> 01:17:17,633
we can't use that.

1421
01:17:17,716 --> 01:17:20,136
I can't make it
up here, Herb. I'll crack up.

1422
01:17:20,219 --> 01:17:23,305
I can retain my sanity
only in a simple society.

1423
01:17:23,806 --> 01:17:25,766
Barbara, you can't
really expect me

1424
01:17:25,850 --> 01:17:28,394
to live in a grass shack
and hunt jackrabbit for dinner.

1425
01:17:28,477 --> 01:17:29,895
Be sensible, for God's sake.

1426
01:17:29,979 --> 01:17:31,313
I am being sensible.

1427
01:17:31,397 --> 01:17:33,607
What is it you're so afraid
of leaving here?

1428
01:17:33,691 --> 01:17:36,068
Your plastic home?
Your conditioned air?

1429
01:17:36,152 --> 01:17:38,487
Your synthetic clothes?
Your instant food?

1430
01:17:38,571 --> 01:17:41,407
I'm offering you
green silence, and solitude.

1431
01:17:41,490 --> 01:17:43,617
The natural order of things.

1432
01:17:43,909 --> 01:17:45,703
Mostly, I'm offering me.

1433
01:17:45,995 --> 01:17:47,663
I think we're beautiful, Herb.

1434
01:17:49,582 --> 01:17:52,001
You make it sound
almost plausible.

1435
01:17:52,334 --> 01:17:54,378
I don't know
why you even hesitate.

1436
01:17:54,670 --> 01:17:56,630
What's holding you here?

1437
01:17:56,839 --> 01:17:58,465
Is it your wife?

1438
01:17:59,842 --> 01:18:00,843
No.

1439
01:18:01,177 --> 01:18:02,761
That's all over.

1440
01:18:03,137 --> 01:18:05,890
I suppose if I'm married to
anything, it's this hospital.

1441
01:18:05,973 --> 01:18:07,683
It's been my whole life.

1442
01:18:07,975 --> 01:18:10,686
I just can't walk out on it
as though it never mattered.

1443
01:18:10,769 --> 01:18:12,771
I'm, uh, middle class.

1444
01:18:12,855 --> 01:18:16,275
And among us middle class,
love doesn't triumph over all,

1445
01:18:16,483 --> 01:18:18,235
responsibility does.

1446
01:18:18,444 --> 01:18:20,696
Herb, don't ask me
to stay up here with you,

1447
01:18:20,779 --> 01:18:22,740
because I love you, and I will.

1448
01:18:22,865 --> 01:18:24,992
And we'll both be destroyed.

1449
01:18:28,579 --> 01:18:31,707
I have the bill
here to pay, yet.

1450
01:18:32,458 --> 01:18:34,210
I'll come with you.

1451
01:18:36,378 --> 01:18:37,421
Herb,

1452
01:18:37,504 --> 01:18:40,883
listen, Joe lagerman says you wanted
to know the name of that dialysis nurse?

1453
01:18:40,966 --> 01:18:41,967
What dialysis nurse?

1454
01:18:42,051 --> 01:18:45,137
The one who... the one who
goofed on your patient, Drummond.

1455
01:18:45,221 --> 01:18:47,514
Well, her name is
Teresa Campanella.

1456
01:18:47,598 --> 01:18:49,141
You're not
gonna believe this, Herb.

1457
01:18:49,225 --> 01:18:52,436
She died on the operating table
of O.R. 3 about an hour ago.

1458
01:18:52,519 --> 01:18:53,812
What're you talking about?

1459
01:18:53,896 --> 01:18:55,940
Well, you heard about
the screw up in O.R. 3.

1460
01:18:56,023 --> 01:18:57,063
You mean, she was the one?

1461
01:18:57,107 --> 01:18:58,734
That's the one.
I just identified her.

1462
01:18:58,817 --> 01:18:59,878
What is going on around here?

1463
01:18:59,902 --> 01:19:01,987
Every time I try to find
somebody in this hospital,

1464
01:19:02,071 --> 01:19:04,114
they either died of a heart attack
in an emergency,

1465
01:19:04,198 --> 01:19:05,824
or anesthesia shock
in an Operating Room.

1466
01:19:05,908 --> 01:19:07,534
Listen, I just came
from the O.R.

1467
01:19:07,618 --> 01:19:09,370
They're trying to find
a Dr. Schaefer.

1468
01:19:09,453 --> 01:19:11,497
Don't you have a kid named
Schaefer in your service?

1469
01:19:11,580 --> 01:19:14,166
I had a schaeffer. He died yesterday
of an overdose of insulin.

1470
01:19:14,250 --> 01:19:15,530
What do they want schaeffer for?

1471
01:19:15,584 --> 01:19:17,962
Well, the holding room nurse
says there's a Dr. Schaefer

1472
01:19:18,045 --> 01:19:19,546
hanging around the holding room.

1473
01:19:19,630 --> 01:19:21,382
Wouldn't have been
your Schaefer anyway.

1474
01:19:21,465 --> 01:19:23,676
Nurse says it was
senior staff, middle-aged man.

1475
01:19:23,759 --> 01:19:26,011
There's no senior staff
named Schaefer in this hospital.

1476
01:19:26,095 --> 01:19:28,097
I told them that,
I said, "I don't know

1477
01:19:28,180 --> 01:19:30,307
any senior staff
around here named Schaefer."

1478
01:19:30,391 --> 01:19:32,518
They've got detectives
down there. Everything.

1479
01:19:32,601 --> 01:19:33,811
A whole big investigation.

1480
01:19:33,894 --> 01:19:35,688
How'd the nurse know
his name was Schaefer?

1481
01:19:35,771 --> 01:19:37,273
Uh, his nameplate.

1482
01:20:41,003 --> 01:20:42,755
I am the fool for Christ,

1483
01:20:42,838 --> 01:20:44,673
and Paraclete of Caborca.

1484
01:20:45,966 --> 01:20:47,843
Oh, for heaven's sakes, dad.

1485
01:20:48,260 --> 01:20:49,970
What the hell's going on?

1486
01:20:50,054 --> 01:20:51,972
We all thought
you were at death's door.

1487
01:20:52,056 --> 01:20:53,599
What are you doing out of bed?

1488
01:20:53,682 --> 01:20:54,892
What happened?

1489
01:20:54,975 --> 01:20:58,437
What's he going at you for?
Did he... did he say anything?

1490
01:20:59,188 --> 01:21:00,939
As a matter of fact,

1491
01:21:01,023 --> 01:21:03,192
he said, "I am the fool
for Christ

1492
01:21:03,275 --> 01:21:05,277
and the Paraclete
of Caborca."

1493
01:21:05,361 --> 01:21:08,572
You better shut that door, because if
he tells everybody who walks in here

1494
01:21:08,655 --> 01:21:11,241
that he's the fool for Christ
and the Paraclete of Caborca,

1495
01:21:11,325 --> 01:21:12,576
they're gonna put us all away.

1496
01:21:12,659 --> 01:21:14,453
He's already killed
two doctors and a nurse.

1497
01:21:14,536 --> 01:21:15,996
I am the wrath of the lamb,

1498
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:17,790
and the angel
of the bottomless pit.

1499
01:21:17,873 --> 01:21:19,953
What do you mean he's killed
two doctors and a nurse?

1500
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:22,711
I mean, he's killed
two doctors and a nurse.

1501
01:21:23,170 --> 01:21:25,172
He just tried to kill me.

1502
01:21:25,255 --> 01:21:27,591
He has something
against doctors.

1503
01:21:28,467 --> 01:21:30,803
Somehow, he got a hold
of some insulin and put it

1504
01:21:30,886 --> 01:21:33,055
in Dr. Schaefer's
intravenous solution.

1505
01:21:33,430 --> 01:21:36,183
And somehow, he got Dr. Ives
to die of a heart attack

1506
01:21:36,266 --> 01:21:38,268
in the middle
of the Emergency Room.

1507
01:21:38,352 --> 01:21:40,646
And somehow, he got
a dialysis nurse, named Campanella

1508
01:21:40,729 --> 01:21:43,482
to die of anesthesia shock
on an operating table.

1509
01:21:43,565 --> 01:21:45,442
He's been running
all over the hospital,

1510
01:21:45,526 --> 01:21:47,820
dressed up in
Dr. Schaefer's uniform.

1511
01:21:47,903 --> 01:21:49,905
Right now, they're looking
all over the place

1512
01:21:49,988 --> 01:21:51,907
for the mysterious
Dr. Schaefer.

1513
01:21:51,990 --> 01:21:53,409
This maybe incredible
to us both,

1514
01:21:53,492 --> 01:21:54,701
but you can see for yourself,

1515
01:21:54,785 --> 01:21:56,785
your father's not the helpless comatose
we thought.

1516
01:21:56,829 --> 01:21:58,914
Well, don't look at me
like I'm the one who's crazy.

1517
01:21:58,997 --> 01:22:00,374
Ask your crazy father.

1518
01:22:00,833 --> 01:22:03,252
I was merely
an instrument of God.

1519
01:22:03,335 --> 01:22:04,837
I killed no one.

1520
01:22:05,421 --> 01:22:07,881
They all three died
by their own hands.

1521
01:22:08,382 --> 01:22:11,260
Ritual victims
of their own institutions,

1522
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:13,429
murdered by irony.

1523
01:22:14,638 --> 01:22:16,432
"An eye for an eye."

1524
01:22:18,058 --> 01:22:19,852
Biblical retribution.

1525
01:22:20,769 --> 01:22:23,772
Schaefer was first, because
you see, he killed God.

1526
01:22:24,773 --> 01:22:27,609
God was admitted to this
hospital last Monday

1527
01:22:27,734 --> 01:22:29,528
under the name of Guernsey.

1528
01:22:30,070 --> 01:22:32,906
<i>I was instantly aware
of a divine presence.</i>

1529
01:22:33,157 --> 01:22:35,534
<i>I was convinced
this porcelain old man</i>

1530
01:22:35,617 --> 01:22:37,453
<i>was in fact an angel
of the Lord,</i>

1531
01:22:37,786 --> 01:22:39,955
<i>perhaps even Christ himself.</i>

1532
01:22:40,789 --> 01:22:43,750
<i>Our savior was, it seems,
suffering from emphysema.</i>

1533
01:22:44,543 --> 01:22:47,713
<i>He was relentlessly subjected
to the benefits of modern medicine</i>

1534
01:22:47,796 --> 01:22:50,048
<i>and died at 7:30
that evening.</i>

1535
01:22:50,466 --> 01:22:53,844
<i>A few hours later, he appeared
to me in a revelation.</i>

1536
01:22:54,887 --> 01:22:57,014
Rise up, Drummond.

1537
01:22:58,307 --> 01:23:01,477
You are dead,
now you are restored.

1538
01:23:02,978 --> 01:23:06,523
Those who killed you,
and those who killed me

1539
01:23:06,607 --> 01:23:08,567
will die in our place.

1540
01:23:10,694 --> 01:23:13,322
You are the Paraclete
of Caborca.

1541
01:23:14,615 --> 01:23:16,492
The wrath of the lamb.

1542
01:23:18,243 --> 01:23:19,661
The angel

1543
01:23:20,245 --> 01:23:23,415
of the bottomless pit.

1544
01:23:27,419 --> 01:23:28,545
<i>Well,</i>

1545
01:23:28,629 --> 01:23:31,089
<i>not quite the
burning bush, perhaps,</i>

1546
01:23:31,173 --> 01:23:33,300
<i>but prodigal enough for me.</i>

1547
01:23:33,717 --> 01:23:37,429
<i>I was to avenge the death of God,
and my own brutalization.</i>

1548
01:23:37,513 --> 01:23:41,141
<i>I was to kill doctors Schaefer,
Ives, and Welbeck,</i>

1549
01:23:41,433 --> 01:23:43,894
<i>and the dialysis nurse,
Miss Campanella,</i>

1550
01:23:43,977 --> 01:23:46,396
<i>whose negligence caused my coma.</i>

1551
01:23:46,605 --> 01:23:48,565
<i>I awaited
a further sign from God,</i>

1552
01:23:48,690 --> 01:23:50,692
<i>which was given
to me later that evening.</i>

1553
01:23:50,817 --> 01:23:54,112
<i>Dr. Schaefer, it seems, had
arranged an assignation</i>

1554
01:23:54,196 --> 01:23:57,366
<i>with a girl from the Hematology Lab,
named Sheila.</i>

1555
01:23:59,034 --> 01:24:01,411
Boy, I sure hope
nobody walks in.

1556
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:06,124
What about him?

1557
01:24:06,250 --> 01:24:07,376
He's zonked out.

1558
01:24:08,210 --> 01:24:09,294
So what's new?

1559
01:24:09,419 --> 01:24:10,546
Nothing.

1560
01:24:17,803 --> 01:24:18,845
What's this?

1561
01:24:18,929 --> 01:24:19,972
Oh, it's my insulin.

1562
01:24:20,055 --> 01:24:21,473
I forgot to put it back.

1563
01:24:21,557 --> 01:24:22,641
Insulin?

1564
01:24:22,724 --> 01:24:25,561
What's the insulin for?
I didn't know you were a diabetic.

1565
01:24:25,644 --> 01:24:28,063
It ain't contagious,
don't worry.

1566
01:24:28,397 --> 01:24:30,190
<i>So, you took the insulin</i>

1567
01:24:30,274 --> 01:24:32,317
<i>from Dr. Schaefer</i>'s <i>pocket
and put it in the I.V.</i>

1568
01:24:32,401 --> 01:24:33,402
<i>Yes.</i>

1569
01:24:33,610 --> 01:24:35,404
<i>And then a nurse came,</i>

1570
01:24:35,487 --> 01:24:38,365
and plugged the IV jar
into... into Schaefer.

1571
01:24:39,908 --> 01:24:42,828
God clearly intended
a measure of irony here.

1572
01:24:43,870 --> 01:24:46,456
The hospital was to do
all the killing for me.

1573
01:24:46,540 --> 01:24:48,792
All I need do is
arrange for the doctors

1574
01:24:48,917 --> 01:24:51,253
to become patients
in their own hospital.

1575
01:24:52,462 --> 01:24:56,758
Accordingly the next morning,
I pinched some digoxin from the pharmacy,

1576
01:24:57,551 --> 01:25:00,095
and a sandbag
from a utility cart,

1577
01:25:00,762 --> 01:25:03,557
and found my way
to Dr. Ives' laboratory.

1578
01:25:04,474 --> 01:25:07,519
I crushed him with the sandbag

1579
01:25:08,228 --> 01:25:11,064
and gave him a massive shot
of the digoxin.

1580
01:25:11,607 --> 01:25:15,319
This, you see, brought on an instant
condition of cardiac arrhythmia.

1581
01:25:15,944 --> 01:25:18,113
I waited for him to come to, and

1582
01:25:19,281 --> 01:25:22,117
<i>then I brought him down
to the Emergency Room.</i>

1583
01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:24,786
<i>He had, at that time,
perhaps an hour to live.</i>

1584
01:25:25,162 --> 01:25:26,830
<i>Prompt treatment
would've saved his life.</i>

1585
01:25:26,913 --> 01:25:30,292
He was suddenly taken ill. I thought
I'd better get him over here right away.

1586
01:25:30,375 --> 01:25:33,587
<i>As a staff doctor,
he was seen without preliminaries.</i>

1587
01:25:33,670 --> 01:25:36,882
<i>His vital signs were taken.
An electrocardiogram</i>

1588
01:25:36,965 --> 01:25:40,761
<i>which revealed occasional
ventricular premature contractions.</i>

1589
01:25:41,261 --> 01:25:44,640
<i>An intern took his history,
and then he was</i>

1590
01:25:44,806 --> 01:25:46,933
<i>promptly, simply...</i>

1591
01:25:47,976 --> 01:25:49,686
<i>Forgotten to death.</i>

1592
01:25:50,562 --> 01:25:52,105
<i>Simply mislaid.</i>

1593
01:25:52,939 --> 01:25:55,275
<i>Mislaid among the broken wrists,</i>

1594
01:25:55,359 --> 01:25:58,528
<i>the chest pains,
the scalp lacerations,</i>

1595
01:25:58,987 --> 01:26:02,240
<i>the man whose fingers
were crushed in a taxi door,</i>

1596
01:26:02,324 --> 01:26:06,745
<i>the infant with a skin rash,
the child swiped by a car,</i>

1597
01:26:07,496 --> 01:26:09,414
<i>the old lady
mugged in the subway,</i>

1598
01:26:09,498 --> 01:26:11,500
<i>the derelict beaten by sailors,</i>

1599
01:26:12,501 --> 01:26:15,921
<i>the teenage suicide,
the paranoids,</i>

1600
01:26:16,004 --> 01:26:19,800
<i>drunks, asthmatics, the rapes,
the septic abortions,</i>

1601
01:26:19,883 --> 01:26:21,635
<i>the overdosed addicts,</i>

1602
01:26:21,718 --> 01:26:24,054
<i>the fractures,
infarcts, hemorrhages,</i>

1603
01:26:24,179 --> 01:26:26,556
<i>concussions, boils, abrasions,</i>

1604
01:26:26,807 --> 01:26:29,685
<i>the colonic cancers,
the cardiac arrests,</i>

1605
01:26:30,352 --> 01:26:34,189
<i>the whole wounded
madhouse of our times.</i>

1606
01:26:41,613 --> 01:26:45,617
Who's number 7680202-S?

1607
01:26:45,992 --> 01:26:48,662
Is there anybody here
who is that number?

1608
01:26:49,538 --> 01:26:51,707
Who's number 7680202...

1609
01:26:51,790 --> 01:26:53,291
<i>In this way, you see,</i>

1610
01:26:53,667 --> 01:26:57,379
<i>was it revealed to me
the manner of Nurse Campanella's death.</i>

1611
01:26:58,088 --> 01:27:01,007
<i>She was to die
of the great American plague:</i>

1612
01:27:01,675 --> 01:27:03,385
<i>Vestigial identity.</i>

1613
01:27:04,344 --> 01:27:08,306
So, last night, I crushed Miss Campanella
with a sandbag,

1614
01:27:09,266 --> 01:27:12,728
sedated her with Thorazine,
shaved her, prepped her,

1615
01:27:13,311 --> 01:27:16,648
and parked her in a corridor of the X-ray
department for five hours.

1616
01:27:16,732 --> 01:27:17,899
Why X-ray?

1617
01:27:18,066 --> 01:27:19,192
Well, at X-ray,

1618
01:27:19,276 --> 01:27:23,405
a sedated body lying around unattended
for five hours wouldn't seem unusual.

1619
01:27:23,488 --> 01:27:24,489
Of course.

1620
01:27:24,573 --> 01:27:26,908
Her operation, that is to say,

1621
01:27:27,242 --> 01:27:31,747
Mrs. Mangafranni's operation,
was not scheduled till 9:30.

1622
01:27:32,372 --> 01:27:35,333
So at 9:15 this morning,
I rang for my nurse.

1623
01:27:35,584 --> 01:27:36,835
Rang for your nurse?

1624
01:27:36,918 --> 01:27:39,921
To insure one full hour
of uninterrupted privacy.

1625
01:27:40,088 --> 01:27:41,256
Of course.

1626
01:27:41,339 --> 01:27:46,094
I got up, wheeled Miss Campanella
off to the Operating Rooms,

1627
01:27:47,012 --> 01:27:50,599
I exchanged Mrs. Mangafranni's bed
with hers.

1628
01:27:51,266 --> 01:27:54,770
I transferred the charts
and identity bracelets.

1629
01:27:55,228 --> 01:27:57,939
She died officially
of anesthesia shock.

1630
01:27:59,274 --> 01:28:03,278
In point of fact, she died because she was
wearing another woman's identity.

1631
01:28:03,361 --> 01:28:05,030
God, what do we do now?

1632
01:28:07,073 --> 01:28:08,992
Let me take him
back to Mexico, Herb.

1633
01:28:09,075 --> 01:28:11,536
It's a simple world there.
He functions there.

1634
01:28:11,620 --> 01:28:12,788
If you turn him in,

1635
01:28:12,871 --> 01:28:16,750
they'll just cage him in the Rockland
State Hospital for the criminally insane.

1636
01:28:16,833 --> 01:28:18,168
Let me take him back.

1637
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:20,378
Are you kidding?

1638
01:28:21,463 --> 01:28:24,049
We'll both take him.
I'm going with you.

1639
01:28:24,841 --> 01:28:25,884
Let's get him dressed.

1640
01:28:25,967 --> 01:28:29,137
We're getting out of here before
the police put us all in Rockland State.

1641
01:28:29,221 --> 01:28:31,181
I haven't finished my work here.

1642
01:28:31,264 --> 01:28:33,266
I have this
Welbeck to dispose of.

1643
01:28:34,100 --> 01:28:36,353
I'm the angel
of the bottomless pit,

1644
01:28:36,603 --> 01:28:38,438
and the wrath of the lamb.

1645
01:28:39,731 --> 01:28:40,857
God!

1646
01:28:43,276 --> 01:28:45,570
Oh, dear, he's having
another revelation.

1647
01:28:46,613 --> 01:28:47,948
Look, um,

1648
01:28:48,949 --> 01:28:50,575
that ambulance
must be there by now.

1649
01:28:50,659 --> 01:28:52,160
You go and get 'em.

1650
01:28:52,327 --> 01:28:54,579
I'll, uh, give him a shot of something
to knock him out.

1651
01:28:54,663 --> 01:28:56,873
We'll take him to the airport
in the ambulance.

1652
01:29:05,715 --> 01:29:07,843
You're hallucinating again.

1653
01:29:15,433 --> 01:29:16,434
Uh...

1654
01:29:18,812 --> 01:29:21,606
<i>Dr. Stanford, Dr. Robert...</i>

1655
01:29:21,690 --> 01:29:23,483
Powell never showed up.

1656
01:29:23,567 --> 01:29:26,278
I'm short-staffed as hell.
It's just me and Alice.

1657
01:29:26,361 --> 01:29:29,614
It's like a Sunday.
Nobody's here.

1658
01:29:29,698 --> 01:29:30,991
I'll be in with the bleeder.

1659
01:29:31,074 --> 01:29:32,784
Yeah, you gotta
send me somebody.

1660
01:29:32,868 --> 01:29:34,578
Well, oh, yeah.

1661
01:29:34,661 --> 01:29:36,246
We'll be in 806.

1662
01:29:38,748 --> 01:29:39,749
Then what did she say?

1663
01:29:39,833 --> 01:29:42,919
I'm Dr. Welbeck. I have a patient
on this floor named Drummond.

1664
01:29:43,003 --> 01:29:44,754
I'd like to see his chart.

1665
01:29:45,380 --> 01:29:48,300
Dr. Bock, can I have a few minutes
of your time, sir?

1666
01:29:48,383 --> 01:29:52,554
Dr. Gilley tells me you are the one who
initiated these proceedings against me.

1667
01:29:52,637 --> 01:29:53,680
I'm busy, Welbeck.

1668
01:29:53,763 --> 01:29:56,308
I'd like to know what is it you have
against me, Doctor.

1669
01:29:58,059 --> 01:30:00,353
Eight days ago,
you showed up half-stoned

1670
01:30:00,437 --> 01:30:01,855
for a simple nephrectomy,

1671
01:30:01,938 --> 01:30:05,025
botched it, put the patient in failure,
and damn near killed him.

1672
01:30:05,108 --> 01:30:07,068
Then, pausing only
to send in your bill,

1673
01:30:07,152 --> 01:30:08,695
you flew off on the wings of Man

1674
01:30:08,778 --> 01:30:11,031
to an island
of sun in Montego Bay.

1675
01:30:11,114 --> 01:30:12,824
This is the third time
in two years

1676
01:30:12,908 --> 01:30:14,618
we've had to patch up
your patients.

1677
01:30:14,701 --> 01:30:16,244
The other two died.

1678
01:30:16,328 --> 01:30:19,331
You're greedy, unfeeling,
inept, indifferent,

1679
01:30:19,497 --> 01:30:22,250
self-inflating,
and unconscionably profitable.

1680
01:30:22,334 --> 01:30:24,461
Aside from that,
I have nothing against you.

1681
01:30:24,544 --> 01:30:28,089
I'm sure you play a hell of a game
of golf. What else do you want to know?

1682
01:30:28,173 --> 01:30:30,300
How much do you
make a year, Bock?

1683
01:30:30,550 --> 01:30:33,553
For a guy who makes
a lousy 40-50 grand...

1684
01:30:41,102 --> 01:30:43,647
This is Dr. Welbeck.
Were you paging me?

1685
01:30:44,147 --> 01:30:47,108
Yes, Arthur, I understand you've been
trying to reach me all morning.

1686
01:30:47,567 --> 01:30:49,819
I tell you, Milton, he pulls out the wires
and the tubes,

1687
01:30:49,903 --> 01:30:52,530
he gets up and he puts on
a doctor's uniform and he goes out,

1688
01:30:52,614 --> 01:30:54,074
and he murders doctors.

1689
01:30:54,157 --> 01:30:56,785
He just went out
10 seconds before you came in here.

1690
01:30:56,952 --> 01:30:59,329
I'll tell you something else
about this crazy place.

1691
01:30:59,412 --> 01:31:02,248
There was a naked Indian in here last
night doing a war dance.

1692
01:31:02,332 --> 01:31:04,793
That's the kind of crazy place
you're running here, Milton.

1693
01:31:04,876 --> 01:31:06,461
You gotta get me
out of here, Milton.

1694
01:31:06,544 --> 01:31:08,046
Milton, this is a crazy place.

1695
01:31:08,129 --> 01:31:09,381
Milton, listen to me, listen.

1696
01:31:09,464 --> 01:31:11,675
I wake up last night
and there was an Indian in here,

1697
01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:13,218
a naked Indian!

1698
01:31:13,301 --> 01:31:14,844
What kind of a hospital is this?

1699
01:31:14,928 --> 01:31:16,429
This is Mr. Mead.
Are you paging me?

1700
01:31:16,513 --> 01:31:19,349
A couple of hours later, the guy in that
bed there is getting out.

1701
01:31:19,432 --> 01:31:21,601
Are the police still in the building?
Get them up here.

1702
01:31:21,685 --> 01:31:23,478
All day long
he lays there like he's dead.

1703
01:31:23,561 --> 01:31:26,815
In the middle of the night, he gets out
of bed! Thought I was going crazy!

1704
01:31:26,898 --> 01:31:29,609
You know what he says to me? He says,
"You're hallucinating."

1705
01:31:29,734 --> 01:31:32,696
I just... listen, I saw a naked Indian,
now I'm seeing a ghost.

1706
01:31:32,779 --> 01:31:34,781
I figure he's right,
I'm hallucinating, right?

1707
01:31:34,864 --> 01:31:36,032
I'll be down directly.

1708
01:31:36,116 --> 01:31:37,367
It never rains, but it pours.

1709
01:31:37,450 --> 01:31:39,703
A fire just broke out
in one of the condemned buildings.

1710
01:31:39,786 --> 01:31:42,372
The squatters came out.
The police tried to arrest them.

1711
01:31:42,455 --> 01:31:44,332
Now the situation has
erupted into a riot.

1712
01:31:44,416 --> 01:31:45,500
Milton...

1713
01:31:45,583 --> 01:31:47,478
I'm sure you're wondering
what this is about, Herb.

1714
01:31:47,502 --> 01:31:49,062
You're not gonna leave
me alone in here.

1715
01:31:49,087 --> 01:31:50,463
Mr. Hitchcock will
stay with you.

1716
01:31:50,547 --> 01:31:51,756
Better call the cops, Tom.

1717
01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:53,008
Milton, Milton, Milton!

1718
01:31:53,717 --> 01:31:55,093
I haven't time now.

1719
01:31:55,176 --> 01:31:58,930
I'm not gonna try to tell you this crazy
story my brother just told me.

1720
01:31:59,014 --> 01:32:01,057
I'll fill you in on it
at lunch sometime.

1721
01:32:01,141 --> 01:32:02,183
Hold it!

1722
01:32:02,350 --> 01:32:03,435
The ambulance is here.

1723
01:32:03,518 --> 01:32:06,312
But your father isn't.
Disappeared.

1724
01:32:06,396 --> 01:32:09,441
He put on Schaefer's uniform,
and took off to do God's work,

1725
01:32:09,524 --> 01:32:11,568
presumably the murder
of Dr. Welbeck.

1726
01:32:11,651 --> 01:32:13,570
The guy on the phone
over there is Dr. Welbeck.

1727
01:32:13,653 --> 01:32:16,031
Oh, my God, Arthur,
what are you talking about?

1728
01:32:16,114 --> 01:32:18,867
On top of everything else,
the other patient in your father's room

1729
01:32:18,950 --> 01:32:20,618
just overheard
the whole confession

1730
01:32:20,702 --> 01:32:23,663
and he told the Chief Administrator.
They're sending for the cops.

1731
01:32:23,747 --> 01:32:26,041
Oh, my God, Arthur.
Well, who held title?

1732
01:32:28,043 --> 01:32:30,754
Do the underwriters
know about this yet?

1733
01:32:31,546 --> 01:32:33,590
Oh, my God, Arthur,
what are you waiting for?

1734
01:32:33,673 --> 01:32:35,842
Arrest the son of a bitch.
Turn him in.

1735
01:32:36,760 --> 01:32:37,969
Oh, my God! When?

1736
01:32:39,763 --> 01:32:41,765
Well, of course, Arthur,
and call me right back.

1737
01:32:41,848 --> 01:32:44,309
I'm at the Holly Pavilion,
8th floor. Hurry, please.

1738
01:32:44,392 --> 01:32:45,560
Are you all right, Welbeck?

1739
01:32:45,727 --> 01:32:46,895
Am I all right?

1740
01:32:47,020 --> 01:32:50,106
That son of a bitch
is trying to wipe me out. My partner.

1741
01:32:50,190 --> 01:32:52,859
The eminent orthopedic surgeon,
Dr. Noel Hogan

1742
01:32:52,942 --> 01:32:55,570
is a miserable thief,
and he's trying to wipe me out.

1743
01:32:56,279 --> 01:32:57,447
Mr. Drummond's chart.

1744
01:32:57,530 --> 01:32:58,865
What?
Oh, what room is it?

1745
01:32:58,948 --> 01:32:59,949
806.

1746
01:33:00,033 --> 01:33:03,119
I'm expecting a phone call. Put it
straight through to me in that room.

1747
01:33:04,704 --> 01:33:06,998
The son of a bitch
has been draining the company

1748
01:33:07,082 --> 01:33:09,751
with phony purchase orders
on another company,

1749
01:33:09,834 --> 01:33:13,630
of which, it now turns out,
his wife is the principal stockholder.

1750
01:33:13,880 --> 01:33:15,298
Transparent fraud.

1751
01:33:15,381 --> 01:33:17,217
I'll send him up for 20 years.

1752
01:33:18,760 --> 01:33:21,930
Well, Drummond, you don't seem
that much the worse for wear.

1753
01:33:22,472 --> 01:33:25,683
Would you mind using some other phone?
I'm expecting an important call.

1754
01:33:25,767 --> 01:33:26,810
Who is this guy?

1755
01:33:26,893 --> 01:33:28,478
I'll be at the nurses' desk,
Sergeant.

1756
01:33:28,561 --> 01:33:29,955
You've got a bit
of a fever, Drummond,

1757
01:33:29,979 --> 01:33:31,564
but you're coming along
very well.

1758
01:33:31,648 --> 01:33:33,566
I'm not Drummond!
Drummond's the other bed.

1759
01:33:34,734 --> 01:33:35,860
That's mine.

1760
01:33:36,111 --> 01:33:38,530
Hello, it's Welbeck here.
Yes, Arthur, go ahead.

1761
01:33:38,613 --> 01:33:39,989
I'm getting out
of this nuthouse.

1762
01:33:40,073 --> 01:33:41,449
Just take it easy, Mr. Mead.

1763
01:33:41,574 --> 01:33:43,701
I came in here to get
a lousy polyp cut out.

1764
01:33:43,785 --> 01:33:47,497
My God! What do you mean?
How many transactions were there?

1765
01:33:48,456 --> 01:33:51,292
But, Arthur, I... I borrowed
against that stock.

1766
01:33:51,376 --> 01:33:54,045
I'm a sick man.
I'm supposed to have peace and quiet!

1767
01:33:54,129 --> 01:33:56,131
What do you mean, Brazil?

1768
01:33:58,299 --> 01:34:01,344
I talked to Hogan's office yesterday,
and they just told

1769
01:34:02,137 --> 01:34:03,638
I'm wiped out.

1770
01:34:03,972 --> 01:34:06,850
The S.E.C has suspended
trading in my stock.

1771
01:34:10,937 --> 01:34:11,938
Welbeck.

1772
01:34:19,404 --> 01:34:21,239
Cardiac arrest. Holly 8.

1773
01:34:22,490 --> 01:34:24,534
We have an emergency here.

1774
01:34:24,826 --> 01:34:26,703
<i>C.A.C., Holly 8.</i>

1775
01:34:26,786 --> 01:34:28,621
<i>Please clear all corridors.</i>

1776
01:34:31,332 --> 01:34:33,501
<i>C.A.C on Holly 8,</i>

1777
01:34:33,668 --> 01:34:35,753
<i>please clear all corridors.</i>

1778
01:34:35,837 --> 01:34:37,213
Breathe him.

1779
01:34:41,634 --> 01:34:42,760
Where's Chandler?

1780
01:34:42,844 --> 01:34:43,928
He went to lunch.

1781
01:34:44,012 --> 01:34:45,763
Get that bed out of here.

1782
01:34:48,349 --> 01:34:50,268
Give me an Ambu-bag
and an airway.

1783
01:34:50,351 --> 01:34:52,604
What's been happening?

1784
01:35:10,121 --> 01:35:11,581
- In here?
- Yeah.

1785
01:35:11,664 --> 01:35:13,249
<i>Dr. Robert Stanford.</i>

1786
01:35:13,333 --> 01:35:14,375
Who is it?

1787
01:35:14,459 --> 01:35:16,377
One of the patients
had a cardiac arrest.

1788
01:35:17,420 --> 01:35:19,214
Total cardiac arrest.

1789
01:35:19,297 --> 01:35:20,757
<i>Dr. Rickie.</i>

1790
01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:22,008
<i>Dr. Rickie.</i>

1791
01:35:22,425 --> 01:35:24,219
<i>Dr. Lionel Rickie.</i>

1792
01:35:24,886 --> 01:35:26,126
How long has he been like this?

1793
01:35:26,179 --> 01:35:27,305
A minute old.

1794
01:35:27,388 --> 01:35:29,307
No pulse, no heartbeat, no respiration.

1795
01:35:29,390 --> 01:35:30,433
I'll take over.

1796
01:35:30,516 --> 01:35:31,796
We have another
emergency in 823.

1797
01:35:31,851 --> 01:35:33,228
Endotracheal tube.

1798
01:35:33,436 --> 01:35:34,896
Listen, was it Drummond?

1799
01:35:35,021 --> 01:35:36,481
Who else would it be?

1800
01:35:41,653 --> 01:35:43,196
All right, who is this patient?

1801
01:35:43,279 --> 01:35:45,156
What's the story
on this patient?

1802
01:35:45,949 --> 01:35:49,244
This his chart, Dr. Bock?
What's his name? Drummond?

1803
01:35:50,745 --> 01:35:53,414
Yes, his name is Drummond.
That's his chart.

1804
01:35:54,249 --> 01:35:55,667
Christ.
The poor son of a bitch

1805
01:35:55,750 --> 01:35:57,502
just had
a nephrectomy a week ago.

1806
01:36:06,302 --> 01:36:07,971
Hook him up to the monitor.

1807
01:36:08,554 --> 01:36:10,181
Stop the massage.

1808
01:36:15,311 --> 01:36:17,647
Ventricular fibrillation.
Get me the paddles.

1809
01:36:17,730 --> 01:36:19,816
Push another amp of bicarb.

1810
01:36:20,358 --> 01:36:21,901
Set it for 200.

1811
01:36:24,654 --> 01:36:25,780
Set, 200.

1812
01:36:25,863 --> 01:36:28,783
Everybody back away. One, two, three.

1813
01:36:30,243 --> 01:36:33,288
Didn't convert.
He's still fibrillating.

1814
01:36:33,788 --> 01:36:35,373
Let's go to 400.

1815
01:36:37,959 --> 01:36:38,960
Everybody back.

1816
01:36:39,127 --> 01:36:40,128
Set, 400.

1817
01:36:40,461 --> 01:36:41,838
One, two, three.

1818
01:36:43,256 --> 01:36:45,008
That didn't work, either.
Let me have

1819
01:36:45,091 --> 01:36:47,302
a cc of adrenalin,
and an intercardiac needle.

1820
01:36:52,140 --> 01:36:53,641
Stop the massage.

1821
01:36:53,933 --> 01:36:56,978
It's ventricular fibrillation.
Push another amp of bicarb.

1822
01:37:01,065 --> 01:37:02,317
200.

1823
01:37:05,236 --> 01:37:06,612
Set, 200.

1824
01:37:14,329 --> 01:37:15,663
Is he dead?

1825
01:37:16,039 --> 01:37:18,875
They can't get him out of fib.
I don't think he'll make it.

1826
01:37:18,958 --> 01:37:20,293
Thank God.

1827
01:37:21,336 --> 01:37:22,337
Well,

1828
01:37:22,587 --> 01:37:24,589
that should close
the case, Sergeant.

1829
01:37:27,383 --> 01:37:30,219
Nobody's gonna get hurt.
We just want the Director.

1830
01:37:47,362 --> 01:37:48,821
Now I've had it up to here.

1831
01:37:48,905 --> 01:37:51,824
I am not dealing with
this kind of cheap...

1832
01:37:51,908 --> 01:37:53,659
Now, look, man,

1833
01:37:54,077 --> 01:37:55,995
we're looking for a hostage!

1834
01:37:56,079 --> 01:37:57,455
14 people got arrested for...

1835
01:37:57,538 --> 01:37:59,040
Where's the
damn T.V. camera?

1836
01:37:59,123 --> 01:38:01,167
Would you be cool, man?

1837
01:38:01,250 --> 01:38:04,629
14 people got arrested for doing nothin'
but living in their homes,

1838
01:38:04,712 --> 01:38:06,089
which you people
threw them out of.

1839
01:38:06,172 --> 01:38:07,465
Right on.

1840
01:38:07,548 --> 01:38:09,300
Now we are gonna arrest you.

1841
01:38:09,384 --> 01:38:12,345
We gonna hold you hostage,
and we ain't letting you go.

1842
01:38:14,806 --> 01:38:18,017
We, the members of the doctors'
liberation committee,

1843
01:38:18,101 --> 01:38:20,353
indict this hospital
for the criminal neglect

1844
01:38:20,478 --> 01:38:22,730
of the community in
which it is situated.

1845
01:38:22,814 --> 01:38:25,983
We demand an immediate dissolution of
the governing and executive boards...

1846
01:38:26,067 --> 01:38:29,070
What are you gonna do
about those 14 ghetto people?

1847
01:38:29,570 --> 01:38:33,866
I am not going to do
anything about anything.

1848
01:38:34,033 --> 01:38:35,159
Yes, you are.

1849
01:38:35,243 --> 01:38:38,579
If you want to take over this hospital,
you take it over.

1850
01:38:38,663 --> 01:38:39,664
We will!

1851
01:38:39,747 --> 01:38:40,748
You run it!

1852
01:38:40,832 --> 01:38:43,167
I am finished. I quit.

1853
01:38:43,960 --> 01:38:46,504
You run it.
You pay the bills!

1854
01:38:47,004 --> 01:38:48,589
- You fight the city.
- We will.

1855
01:38:48,673 --> 01:38:51,342
You fight the state.
You fight the unions.

1856
01:38:51,426 --> 01:38:53,261
You fight the community.

1857
01:38:53,553 --> 01:38:56,514
You think you can do
a better job, you do it.

1858
01:38:56,681 --> 01:38:58,724
Now, I am finished!
I quit!

1859
01:38:59,267 --> 01:39:00,810
It's all yours.

1860
01:39:22,790 --> 01:39:26,752
Let those who are in Judea
flee to the mountains!

1861
01:39:27,086 --> 01:39:29,297
The age is closed!

1862
01:39:29,464 --> 01:39:33,801
The season
of the seventh seal is at hand!

1863
01:39:34,135 --> 01:39:37,221
The age is closed.

1864
01:39:37,305 --> 01:39:38,598
The season of...

1865
01:39:38,681 --> 01:39:41,142
Dr. Welbeck is dead.
They thought he was you.

1866
01:39:41,225 --> 01:39:42,435
Yes, I know.

1867
01:39:42,643 --> 01:39:45,771
We must arrange to have his body shipped
to my Apache village,

1868
01:39:45,855 --> 01:39:47,899
where we'll bury him
with full tribal rites.

1869
01:39:47,982 --> 01:39:49,108
We got to hurry.

1870
01:39:49,192 --> 01:39:50,526
In a day or two,
someone will ask,

1871
01:39:50,610 --> 01:39:52,528
"Whatever
happened to Dr. Welbeck?"

1872
01:39:52,612 --> 01:39:55,615
It'll be assumed he absconded to Brazil
to join his partner,

1873
01:39:55,698 --> 01:39:58,993
the eminent orthopedic surgeon,
Dr. Noel Hogan.

1874
01:39:59,202 --> 01:40:01,662
Welbeck, too, was mislaid,

1875
01:40:01,996 --> 01:40:05,041
overlooked, forgotten to death.

1876
01:40:06,834 --> 01:40:08,336
I'm not going.

1877
01:40:09,003 --> 01:40:10,588
The hospital's coming apart.

1878
01:40:10,671 --> 01:40:13,341
I can't walk out on it
when it's coming apart.

1879
01:40:13,883 --> 01:40:16,093
Someone has
to be responsible, Barbara.

1880
01:40:17,261 --> 01:40:20,848
Everybody's hitting the road,

1881
01:40:21,682 --> 01:40:24,185
running away,
running to the hills.

1882
01:40:25,645 --> 01:40:28,523
Someone's got to be responsible.

1883
01:40:36,364 --> 01:40:39,534
Kennedy Airport.
You've got a 2:30 flight to make.

1884
01:40:57,260 --> 01:40:58,886
You going back in?

1885
01:40:59,720 --> 01:41:00,721
Yep.

1886
01:41:01,681 --> 01:41:04,267
It's like pissing
in the wind, right, Herb?
